Best way to strip punctuation from a string

Question

It seems like there should be a simpler way than:

import string
s = \"string. With. Punctuation?\" # Sample string 
out = s.translate(string.maketrans(\"\",\         


        

Answer 1

Regular expressions are simple enough, if you know them.

import re
s = "string. With. Punctuation?"
s = re.sub(r'[^\w\s]','',s)
