[Tutor] Remove specific chars from a string

[Malcolm Greene]

What is the Pythonic way to remove specific chars from a string? The
.translate( table[, deletechars]) method seems the most 'politically
correct' and also the most complicated.

My ideas:

1. For each char to be removed, do a .replace( char_to_delete, '' )

2. Do a .split( str_of_chars_to_delete ) followed by a ''.join()

3. Use a regular expression

4. Other?

Thanks!
