pythonic way to write the code for search and replace string [duplicate]

Question

I have written code to search and replace string in make command as per user input

make language='english' id=234 version=V1 path='/bin'

In above code i searched version=V1 and replace version with version=V2

import re
strings = "make language='english' id=234 version=V1 path='/bin'"
search_pattern= re.search('version=(.*?)\s', strings)
old_str = search_pattern.group(1)
print test.replace(old_str, "V2")

Can anyone help me write above code in pythonic way or any other way to write above code

Why not strings.replace("V1", "V2")?

It's very easy if you use str.replace

String = "make language='english' id=234 version=V1 path='/bin'"
String = String.replace("version=V1", "version=V2")
