title: Removing Punctuation from a String
body: <p>How do I remove punctuation from a string in python? I followed the approach that someone posted on Stackoverflow, but it is not working. </p>
  
  <pre><code>punctuation = ['(', ')', '?', ':', ':', ',', '.', '!', '/', '"', "'"]
  
  str = input("Hi, my name is Yael Shapiro!")
  
  for i in punctuation:
      str = str.replace(i,"")
  
  print(str)
  </code></pre>
