title: Python replace/delete special characters
body: <pre><code>character = (%.,-();'0123456789-—:`’)
  character.replace(" ")
  character.delete()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to delete or replace all the special characters and numbers from my program, I know it can be done in the one string just not sure how to space all the special characters with quotes or anything. Somehow I'm supposed to separate all the special character in the parenthesis just not sure how to break up and keep all the characters stored in the variable.</p>
