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

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

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

    "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)"

$ python -m timeit -s \
    "import re, string; pattern = re.compile('[\W_]+')" \

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
    

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

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()

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。
