Strip Punctuation From String in Python
Question: I`m working with documents, and I need to have the words isolated without
punctuation. I know how to use string.split(" ") to make each word just the
letters, but the punctuation baffles me.


Answer: this is an example using regex, and the result is ['this', 'is', 'a',
'string', 'with', 'punctuation']

    
    
    s = " ,this ?is a string! with punctuation. "
    import re
    pattern = re.compile('\w+')
    result = pattern.findall(s)
    print(result)
