If you want to delete/ignore characters in a string, and, for instance, you have this string,

"[11:L:0]"

from a web API response or something like that, like a CSV file, let's say you are using requests

import requests
udid = 123456
url = 'http://webservices.yourserver.com/action/id-' + udid
s = requests.Session()
s.verify = False
resp = s.get(url, stream=True)
content = resp.content

loop and get rid of unwanted chars:

for line in resp.iter_lines():
  line = line.replace("[", "")
  line = line.replace("]", "")
  line = line.replace('"', "")

Optional split, and you will be able to read values individually:

listofvalues = line.split(':')

Now accessing each value is easier:

print listofvalues[0]
print listofvalues[1]
print listofvalues[2]

This will print

11
