Greetings.
The strip() method of strings works from both ends towards the middle.
Is there a simple, built-in way to remove several characters from a
string no matter their location? (besides .replace() ;)
For example:
.strip --> 'www.example.com'.strip('cmowz.')
'example'
.??? --> --- 'www.example.com'.strip('cmowz.')
'exaple'

filter()
>>> removeChars = ';j'
>>> filter(lambda c: c not in removeChars, x)
'asdfklasdfkl'
>>>
or
a list comprehension
x="asdfjkl;asdfjkl;"
>>> ''.join([c for c in x if c not in ';'])
'asdfjklasdfjkl'
