Python (beginner) replace() count not working

[Rosfield40]

I am stumped on why I can't delete a certain number of specific characters from a string

str = "banana"

str_new = str.replace('a', 1)

print(str_new)

I get this;
TypeError: replace() argument 2 must be str, not int

I understand it is telling me I cannot use an integer where the '1' is, but how else do I do this? I've looked online and I can't see what I am doing wrong?
Sorry I am an absolute beginner, and only coding a few days

EDIT: SORRY. Figured it out, I needed a blank for 2nd arg. (been looking at this for an hour and only figure it out as soon as I post! Apologies!
