Problem
You have a text and you want to remove punctuations from it. Example:
in: "Hello! It is time to remove punctuations. It is easy, you will see." out: "Hello It is time to remove punctuations It is easy you will see"
Solution
Let’s see a Python 3 solution:
>>> import string
>>> tr = str.maketrans("", "", string.punctuation)
>>> s = "Hello! It is time to remove punctuations. It is easy, you will see."
>>> s.translate(tr)
'Hello Its time to remove punctuations Its easy youll see'
Docs: str.maketrans(), str.translate().
