How to replace a number in a string in Python?

Question

I need to search a string and check if it contains numbers in its name. If it does, I want to replace it with nothing. I've started doing something like this but I didn't find a solution for my problem.

table = "table1"

if any(chr.isdigit() for chr in table) == True:
    table = table.replace(chr, "_")
    print(table)

# The output should be "table"

Any ideas?

You could do this in many different ways. Here's how it could be done with the re module:

import re

table = 'table1'

table = re.sub(r'\d+', '', table)
