Re: 'string'.strip(chars)-like function that removes from the middle?

Hi,

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.co m'.strip('cmowz .')
'example'
.??? ----- 'www.example.co m'.strip('cmowz .')
'exaple'

I don't see any string method to do that, but you can use a regexp :

>>re.sub('[cmowz.]', '', 'www.example.co m')

'exaple'
