Does Python have String Comprehension like List Comprehension?

Question

Does Python have a construct analogue to list comprehension for creating strings, a "string comprehension"?

The task I need to do is remove all punctuation from the string.

def remove_punctuation(text: str) -> str:
    punctuations = [",", ".", "!", "?"]
    # next line is what I want to do
    result = text.replace(p, "") for p in punctuations
    return result

assert remove_punctuation("A! Lion?is. crying!..") == "A Lion is crying"

Answer 1

There isn't string comprehension, however you can use generator expression, which is used in list comprehension, inside join()

text = ''.join(x for x in text if x not in punctuations)
print(text) # A Lion is crying
