Python 3.5 removing punctuation

[Lunar Evolution]

So I've seen some things on stack overflow and such on how to remove punctuation from a string, but I think I'm missing something. I just need to remove things like commas, quotation marks, slashes, etc. I can't really seem to figure out a good way to do it other than the obvious replace them all individually with "". So is there a good way to do it that someone can explain to me?

I think there's a function you can use to check if a character is alphanumeric. If it isn't, replace with "".

replacing each with "" is the correct way to do it

Simply iterate through the array and check against unwanted characters. Replace with "" and your done.

I found ways that seemed to use something to do with the .translate() function or things similar. Is that incorrect?

translate would work fine, which one is faster will depend on your data.

str = "it's bit me. I'm good"

print str.replace("'", "")

no code tags as I'm in my phone.
