Best way to strip punctuation from a string in Python

Answer 1

punctuation is a method of string module not a string object attribute.

>>> import string
>>> 
>>> string.punctuation
'!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'

If you want to get the punctuation from a text you can use a generator expression within set :

set(i for i in text if i in string.punctuation)
