How can I remove all the punctuations from a string?

Question

for removing all punctuations from a string, x. i want to use re.findall(), but i've been struggling to know what to write in it.. i know that i can get all the punctuations by writing:

import string
y = string.punctuation

but if i write:

re.findall(y,x) 

it says:

 raise error("multiple repeat")
 sre_constants.error: multiple repeat

can someone explain what exactly we should write in re.findall function?

You may not even need RegEx for this. You can simply use translate, like this

import string
print data.translate(None, string.punctuation)
