Replacing multiple characters at once

Is there any way to replace multiple characters in a string at once, so that instead of doing:

"foo_faa:fee,fii".replace("_", "").replace(":", "").replace(",", "")

just something like (with str.replace())

"foo_faa:fee,fii".replace(["_", ":", ","], "")

>Solution :

An option that requires no looping or regular expressions is translate:

>>> "foo_faa:fee,fii".translate(str.maketrans('', '', "_:,"))
"foofaafeefii"

Note that for Python 2, the API is slightly different.
