You could do: 

  args = [x.replace(" ","_") for x in args]

This is called "list comprehension" and is very useful.

But if you want to join the elements making up args instead, for
example if args is a list coming in through an inlet in [pyext] ,
you should use join like: 

  "_".join(args)

Here's the difference of both:

  >>> args = ("a", "b", "c d")
  >>> [x.replace(" ", "_") for x in args]
  ['a', 'b', 'c_d']
  >>> "_".join(args)
  'a_b_c d'
  >>> 

Ciao
