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

Here's a one-liner for Python 3.5:

import string
"l*ots! o(f. p@u)n[c}t]u[a'ti\"on#$^?/".translate(str.maketrans({a:None for a in string.punctuation}))
