Python: Delete a character from a string

Question

I want to delete i.e. character number 5 in a string. So I did:

del line[5]

and got: TypeError: \'str\' object doesn\'t support item deletion

So no I won

Answer 1

I use a function similar to :

def delstring(mystring, indexes):
  return ''.join([let for ind, let in enumerate(mystring) if ind not in indexes])

indexes should be an iterable (list, tuple..)
