Remove specific characters from a string in Python

Given this string, ###hi##python##python###, how can I remove all instances of '#'?
v = "###hi#python#python###"
x = v.strip("#")
print(x)
Expected output: "hipythonpython"
Just use replace
the_str = '###hi##python##python###'
clean_str = the_str.replace('#','')
print(clean_str)
Output
hipythonpython
What you want is not strip, but replace:
v = '###hi#python#python###'
x = v.replace('#', '')
print(x)
Output:
hipythonpython

How to remove substring from string in Python 3

Is there I way to delete words from a string in Python if it doesn't have spaces. For example, if you have the string "WUBHELLOWUB" I want to remove "WUB". I tried
s = 'WUBHELLOWUB'
while 'WUB' in s:
ind = s.find('WUB')
s = s[:ind] + s[ind+1:]
print(s)
but it did not work.
You can use regex
import re
data=r"\S*WUB\S*"
re.sub(data, '','WUBWUBHELLO')

I have a list like this ['BASE', 'BASE xBU xPY', 'BU GROUP REL', 'PY REL'] and I want to convert it to ['BASE', 'BASE_xBU_xPY', 'BU_GROU_ REL', 'PY_REL'] in short convert space to underscore for value in b/w quotes
I would suggest using replace along with map
Example:
my_list = ['BASE', 'BASE xBU xPY', 'BU GROUP REL', 'PY REL']
converter = lambda x: x.replace(' ', '_')
my_list = list(map(converter, my_list))
my_list
['BASE', 'BASE_xBU_xPY', 'BU_GROUP_REL', 'PY_REL']

As I join 2 strings like:
print("not" + "X")
The result is like this:
notX
How could I make this into:
not X
Try using:
print("not","X")
# or:
' '.join(i for i in ['not','X'])
# or:
' '.join(('not','X'))
instead of:
print("not"+"X")

replace all characters in a string with asterisks

str0 = input("Enter str: ")
str0 = str0.replace(str0, '_')
print(str0)
I need to replace each one of the characters without using loops or conditions
str0 = input("Enter str: ")
str0 = '_'*len(str0)
print(str0)
Should work. The multiplication puts the right amount of _'s so that all of them are replaced.

How do I remove the quote marks and commas and brackets from this result:
encrypt = input("enter your string: ")
encrypt = encrypt.replace(" ","")
encrypt_list = [encrypt[i:i+5] for i in range(0, len(encrypt), 5)]
print (encrypt)
print (encrypt_list)
If the input was: 5 blocks of text test
The output is: ['5bloc', 'ksoft', 'extte', 'st']
I need it to be: 5bloc ksoft extte st
You can use str.join, like this:
>>> s = ' '.join(['5bloc', 'ksoft', 'extte', 'st'])
>>> print(s)
5bloc ksoft extte st
