How to remove symbols from a string with Python? [duplicate]

by

One way, using regular expressions:

>>> s = "how much for the maple syrup? $20.99? That's ridiculous!!!"
>>> re.sub(r'[^\w]', ' ', s)
'how much for the maple syrup   20 99  That s ridiculous   '

  • \w will match alphanumeric characters and underscores

  • [^\w] will match anything that’s not alphanumeric or underscore
