Dear All,
I need some assistance with Python so that values in the "Name" field e.g.
Murray - James - Leo can be labeled as:

Murray
James
Leo

with a new line replacing every dash.

Basically I need the equivalent of this VB in Python:
replace ( [Name]  , "-", vbNewLine)

I tried this but no luck:

str.[Name].replace("-", "\n")
str.[Name].replace("-", \n)
[Name].replace("-", \n")

Your help is appreciated
