s.translate(None, string.punctuation)

对于更高版本的Python，请使用以下代码：

s.translate(str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation))

它使用查找表在C语言中执行原始字符串操作——除了编写自己的C代码之外，没有什么能比这更好的了。

如果速度不令人担忧，另一个选择是：

exclude = set(string.punctuation)
s = ''.join(ch for ch in s if ch not in exclude)

这比用每个字符替换s.replace更快，但不会像正则表达式或字符串转换等非纯python方法那样执行得好，正如您从下面的计时中看到的那样。对于这种类型的问题，在尽可能低的水平上解决是有回报的。

计时代码：

import re, string, timeit

s = "string. With. Punctuation"
exclude = set(string.punctuation)
table = string.maketrans("","")
regex = re.compile('[%s]' % re.escape(string.punctuation))

def test_set(s):
    return ''.join(ch for ch in s if ch not in exclude)

def test_re(s):  # From Vinko's solution, with fix.
    return regex.sub('', s)

def test_trans(s):
    return s.translate(table, string.punctuation)

def test_repl(s):  # From S.Lott's solution
    for c in string.punctuation:
        s=s.replace(c,"")
    return s

print "sets      :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_set as f').timeit(1000000)
print "regex     :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_re as f').timeit(1000000)
print "translate :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_trans as f').timeit(1000000)
print "replace   :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_repl as f').timeit(1000000)

结果如下：

sets      : 19.8566138744
regex     : 6.86155414581
translate : 2.12455511093
replace   : 28.4436721802

作为更新，我重写了Python 3中的@Brian示例，并对其进行了更改，以将正则表达式编译步骤移到函数内部。我在这里的想法是对使功能工作所需的每一步进行计时。也许您使用的是分布式计算，无法在工作人员之间共享regex对象，需要在每个工作人员处执行re.compile步骤。此外，我还很好奇地对Python 3的maketrans的两种不同实现进行计时

table = str.maketrans({key: None for key in string.punctuation})

vs

table = str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation)

另外，我添加了另一种使用集合的方法，在这里我利用交集函数来减少迭代次数。

这是完整的代码：

import re, string, timeit

s = "string. With. Punctuation"


def test_set(s):
    exclude = set(string.punctuation)
    return ''.join(ch for ch in s if ch not in exclude)


def test_set2(s):
    _punctuation = set(string.punctuation)
    for punct in set(s).intersection(_punctuation):
        s = s.replace(punct, ' ')
    return ' '.join(s.split())


def test_re(s):  # From Vinko's solution, with fix.
    regex = re.compile('[%s]' % re.escape(string.punctuation))
    return regex.sub('', s)


def test_trans(s):
    table = str.maketrans({key: None for key in string.punctuation})
    return s.translate(table)


def test_trans2(s):
    table = str.maketrans('', '', string.punctuation)
    return(s.translate(table))


def test_repl(s):  # From S.Lott's solution
    for c in string.punctuation:
        s=s.replace(c,"")
    return s


print("sets      :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_set as f').timeit(1000000))
print("sets2      :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_set2 as f').timeit(1000000))
print("regex     :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_re as f').timeit(1000000))
print("translate :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_trans as f').timeit(1000000))
print("translate2 :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_trans2 as f').timeit(1000000))
print("replace   :",timeit.Timer('f(s)', 'from __main__ import s,test_repl as f').timeit(1000000))

这是我的结果：

sets      : 3.1830138750374317
sets2      : 2.189873124472797
regex     : 7.142953420989215
translate : 4.243278483860195
translate2 : 2.427158243022859
replace   : 4.579746678471565

我喜欢使用这样的函数：

def scrub(abc):
    while abc[-1] is in list(string.punctuation):
        abc=abc[:-1]
    while abc[0] is in list(string.punctuation):
        abc=abc[1:]
    return abc

这里有一个使用RegEx的简单方法

import re

punct = re.compile(r'(\w+)')

sentence = 'This ! is : a # sample $ sentence.' # Text with punctuation
tokenized = [m.group() for m in punct.finditer(sentence)]
sentence = ' '.join(tokenized)
print(sentence) 
'This is a sample sentence'

为了方便使用，我总结了Python 2和Python 3中从字符串中删除标点符号的注意事项。有关详细说明，请参阅其他答案。

Python 2

import string

s = "string. With. Punctuation?"
table = string.maketrans("","")
new_s = s.translate(table, string.punctuation)      # Output: string without punctuation

Python 3

import string

s = "string. With. Punctuation?"
table = str.maketrans(dict.fromkeys(string.punctuation))  # OR {key: None for key in string.punctuation}
new_s = s.translate(table)                          # Output: string without punctuation
