Remove quotes from String in Python

Just use string methods .replace() if they occur throughout, or .strip() if they only occur at the start and/or finish:

a = '"sajdkasjdsak" "asdasdasds"' a = a.replace('"', '')'sajdkasjdsak asdasdasds'# or, if they only occur at start and end...a = a.strip('\"')'sajdkasjdsak" "asdasdasds'# or, if they only occur at start...a = a.lstrip('\"')# or, if they only occur at end...a = a.rstrip('\"')

You can use eval() for this purpose

>>> url = "'http address'">>> eval(url)'http address'

while eval() poses risk , i think in this context it is safe.

There are several ways this can be accomplished.

• You can make use of the builtin string function .replace() to replace all occurrences of quotes in a given string:

  >>> s = '"abcd" efgh'>>> s.replace('"', '')'abcd efgh'>>> 

• You can use the string function .join() and a generator expression to remove all quotes from a given string:

  >>> s = '"abcd" efgh'>>> ''.join(c for c in s if c not in '"')'abcd efgh'>>> 

• You can use a regular expression to remove all quotes from given string. This has the added advantage of letting you have control over when and where a quote should be deleted:

  >>> s = '"abcd" efgh'>>> import re>>> re.sub('"', '', s)'abcd efgh'>>>
