正则表达式的拯救:

import re
re.sub(r'\W+', '', your_string)

根据Python定义'\W == [^a-zA-Z0-9_]，它不包括所有数字、字母和_

如何:

def ExtractAlphanumeric(InputString):
    from string import ascii_letters, digits
    return "".join([ch for ch in InputString if ch in (ascii_letters + digits)])

如果InputString中的字符存在于ascii_letters和digits的组合字符串中，则可以使用列表推导来生成InputString中的字符列表。然后它将列表连接在一起，形成一个字符串。

>>> import re
>>> string = "Kl13@£$%[};'\""
>>> pattern = re.compile('\W')
>>> string = re.sub(pattern, '', string)
>>> print string
Kl13

你可以试试:

print ''.join(ch for ch in some_string if ch.isalnum())

我只是出于好奇计算了一些函数的时间。在这些测试中，我从字符串string中删除非字母数字字符。Printable(内置字符串模块的一部分)。使用编译的'[\W_]+'和模式。Sub ("， str)被发现是最快的。

$ python -m timeit -s \
     "import string" \
     "''.join(ch for ch in string.printable if ch.isalnum())" 
10000 loops, best of 3: 57.6 usec per loop

$ python -m timeit -s \
    "import string" \
    "filter(str.isalnum, string.printable)"                 
10000 loops, best of 3: 37.9 usec per loop

$ python -m timeit -s \
    "import re, string" \
    "re.sub('[\W_]', '', string.printable)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 27.5 usec per loop

$ python -m timeit -s \
    "import re, string" \
    "re.sub('[\W_]+', '', string.printable)"                
100000 loops, best of 3: 15 usec per loop

$ python -m timeit -s \
    "import re, string; pattern = re.compile('[\W_]+')" \
    "pattern.sub('', string.printable)" 
100000 loops, best of 3: 11.2 usec per loop

使用str.translate()方法。

假设你会经常这样做:

一次，创建一个包含所有你想删除的字符的字符串: Delchars = "。Join (c for c in map(chr, range(256)) if not c.isalnum()) 当你想要挤压字符串时: scrunched = s.translate(无，delchars)

安装成本可能比re.compile更有利;边际成本更低:

C:\junk>\python26\python -mtimeit -s"import string;d=''.join(c for c in map(chr,range(256)) if not c.isalnum());s=string.printable" "s.translate(None,d)"
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.04 usec per loop

C:\junk>\python26\python -mtimeit -s"import re,string;s=string.printable;r=re.compile(r'[\W_]+')" "r.sub('',s)"
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.34 usec per loop

注意:使用字符串。可打印作为基准数据给模式'[\W_]+'一个不公平的优势;所有的非字母数字字符都在一堆…在典型的数据中，会有不止一个替换:

C:\junk>\python26\python -c "import string; s = string.printable; print len(s),repr(s)"
100 '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~ \t\n\r\x0b\x0c'

如果你给re.sub更多的工作，会发生什么:

C:\junk>\python26\python -mtimeit -s"d=''.join(c for c in map(chr,range(256)) if not c.isalnum());s='foo-'*25" "s.translate(None,d)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.97 usec per loop

C:\junk>\python26\python -mtimeit -s"import re;s='foo-'*25;r=re.compile(r'[\W_]+')" "r.sub('',s)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 26.4 usec per loop

作为这里其他一些答案的衍生，我提供了一种非常简单而灵活的方法来定义您想要限制字符串内容的一组字符。在这种情况下，我允许字母数字加破折号和下划线。只需添加或删除字符从我的PERMITTED_CHARS适合您的用例。

PERMITTED_CHARS = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_-" 
someString = "".join(c for c in someString if c in PERMITTED_CHARS)

for char in my_string:
    if not char.isalnum():
        my_string = my_string.replace(char,"")

sent = "".join(e for e in sent if e.isalpha())

使用ASCII可打印文件的随机字符串计时:

from inspect import getsource
from random import sample
import re
from string import printable
from timeit import timeit

pattern_single = re.compile(r'[\W]')
pattern_repeat = re.compile(r'[\W]+')
translation_tb = str.maketrans('', '', ''.join(c for c in map(chr, range(256)) if not c.isalnum()))


def generate_test_string(length):
    return ''.join(sample(printable, length))


def main():
    for i in range(0, 60, 10):
        for test in [
            lambda: ''.join(c for c in generate_test_string(i) if c.isalnum()),
            lambda: ''.join(filter(str.isalnum, generate_test_string(i))),
            lambda: re.sub(r'[\W]', '', generate_test_string(i)),
            lambda: re.sub(r'[\W]+', '', generate_test_string(i)),
            lambda: pattern_single.sub('', generate_test_string(i)),
            lambda: pattern_repeat.sub('', generate_test_string(i)),
            lambda: generate_test_string(i).translate(translation_tb),

        ]:
            print(timeit(test), i, getsource(test).lstrip('            lambda: ').rstrip(',\n'), sep='\t')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

结果(Python 3.7):

str.maketrans & str.translate是最快的，但包括所有非ascii字符。 重新编译&模式。Sub较慢，但不知何故比"快。加入&过滤。

如果我理解正确，最简单的方法是使用正则表达式，因为它为您提供了很大的灵活性，但另一个简单的方法是使用循环以下是示例代码，我还计算了单词的出现并存储在字典中。

s = """An... essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own 
argument — but the definition is vague, 
overlapping with those of a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays 
have traditionally been 
sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious 
purpose, dignity, logical 
organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal 
element (self-revelation, 
individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, 
rambling structure, unconventionality 
or novelty of theme," etc.[1]"""

d = {}      # creating empty dic      
words = s.split() # spliting string and stroing in list
for word in words:
    new_word = ''
    for c in word:
        if c.isalnum(): # checking if indiviual chr is alphanumeric or not
            new_word = new_word + c
    print(new_word, end=' ')
    # if new_word not in d:
    #     d[new_word] = 1
    # else:
    #     d[new_word] = d[new_word] +1
print(d)

如果这个答案是有用的，请评价这个!

对于简单的一行代码(Python 3.0):

''.join(filter( lambda x: x in '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', the_string_you_want_stripped ))

对于Python < 3.0:

filter( lambda x: x in '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', the_string_you_want_stripped )

注意:如果需要，您可以将其他字符添加到允许字符列表中(例如:“0123456789 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz。_”)。

Python 3

使用与@John Machin的答案相同的方法，但针对Python 3进行了更新:

更大的字符集 对翻译工作方式的轻微改变。

现在假定Python代码是用UTF-8编码的 (来源:PEP 3120)

这意味着包含你想要删除的所有字符的字符串会变得更大:

    
del_chars = ''.join(c for c in map(chr, range(1114111)) if not c.isalnum())
    

翻译方法现在需要使用一个翻译表，我们可以用maketrans()创建:

    
del_map = str.maketrans('', '', del_chars)
    

现在，像以前一样，任何你想要“捏碎”的字符串:

    
scrunched = s.translate(del_map)
    

使用来自@Joe Machin的最后一个计时例子，我们可以看到它仍然比re强一个数量级:

    
> python -mtimeit -s"d=''.join(c for c in map(chr,range(1114111)) if not c.isalnum());m=str.maketrans('','',d);s='foo-'*25" "s.translate(m)"
    
1000000 loops, best of 5: 255 nsec per loop
    
> python -mtimeit -s"import re;s='foo-'*25;r=re.compile(r'[\W_]+')" "r.sub('',s)"
    
50000 loops, best of 5: 4.8 usec per loop
    

这是一个简单的解决方案，因为这里所有的答案都很复杂

filtered = ''
for c in unfiltered:
    if str.isalnum(c):
        filtered += c
    
print(filtered)

我用perfplot(我的一个项目)检查了结果，发现对于短字符串，

"".join(filter(str.isalnum, s))

是最快的。对于长字符串(200+字符)

re.sub("[\W_]", "", s)

是最快的。

代码重现情节:

import perfplot
import random
import re
import string

pattern = re.compile("[\W_]+")


def setup(n):
    return "".join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits, k=n))


def string_alphanum(s):
    return "".join(ch for ch in s if ch.isalnum())


def filter_str(s):
    return "".join(filter(str.isalnum, s))


def re_sub1(s):
    return re.sub("[\W_]", "", s)


def re_sub2(s):
    return re.sub("[\W_]+", "", s)


def re_sub3(s):
    return pattern.sub("", s)


b = perfplot.bench(
    setup=setup,
    kernels=[string_alphanum, filter_str, re_sub1, re_sub2, re_sub3],
    n_range=[2**k for k in range(10)],
)
b.save("out.png")
b.show()

如果你想保留像áéíóúãẽĩõũ这样的字符，使用这个:

import re
re.sub('[\W\d_]+', '', your_string)
