Remove Parentheses from String in Python [Methods + Examples]

Example 1: Using `str.replace()` Method

# Sample string with parentheses
text = "Hello (world), welcome (to) Python."

# Remove parentheses using str.replace()
text_without_parentheses = text.replace("(", "").replace(")", "")

# Print the string without parentheses
print("String without parentheses:", text_without_parentheses)
    

Output:

String without parentheses: Hello world, welcome to Python.
    

Example 2: Using a Regular Expression

import re

# Sample string with parentheses
text = "Hello (world), welcome (to) Python."

# Remove parentheses using a regular expression
text_without_parentheses = re.sub(r'\([^)]*\)', '', text)

# Print the string without parentheses
print("String without parentheses:", text_without_parentheses)
    

Output:

String without parentheses: Hello , welcome  Python.
    

Example 3: Using a Loop

# Sample string with parentheses
text = "Hello (world), welcome (to) Python."

# Initialize an empty string to store the result
result = ""

# Iterate through each character in the string
for char in text:
    # Check if the character is not an opening or closing parenthesis
    if char != '(' and char != ')':
        # Append the character to the result string
        result += char

# Print the string without parentheses
print("String without parentheses:", result)

Output:

String without parentheses: Hello world, welcome to Python.

Example 4: Using `str.join()` with List Comprehension

# Sample string with parentheses
text = "Hello (world), welcome (to) Python."

# Remove parentheses using list comprehension and str.join()
text_without_parentheses = ''.join([char for char in text if char not in '()'])

# Print the string without parentheses
print("String without parentheses:", text_without_parentheses)

Output:

String without parentheses: Hello world, welcome to Python.
