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(\"\",\

Remove stop words from the text file using Python

print('====THIS IS HOW TO REMOVE STOP WORS====')

with open('one.txt','r')as myFile:

    str1=myFile.read()

    stop_words ="not", "is", "it", "By","between","This","By","A","when","And","up","Then","was","by","It","If","can","an","he","This","or","And","a","i","it","am","at","on","in","of","to","is","so","too","my","the","and","but","are","very","here","even","from","them","then","than","this","that","though","be","But","these"

    myList=[]

    myList.extend(str1.split(" "))

    for i in myList:

        if i not in stop_words:

            print ("____________")

            print(i,end='\n')
