How to use strip in the middle of a string

Question

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"

Answer 1

Just use replace

the_str = '###hi##python##python###'
clean_str = the_str.replace('#','')
print(clean_str)

Output

hipythonpython

Answer 2

What you want is not strip, but replace:

v = '###hi#python#python###'
x = v.replace('#', '') 

print(x)

Output:

hipythonpython
