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

A one-liner might be helpful in not very strict cases:

''.join([c for c in s if c.isalnum() or c.isspace()])
