Remove Whitespaces from the string

How Can I remove the whitespaces from the string “aaa bbb ccc ddd eee”?

I can think of two ways to do this.

Using join-
>>> s='aaa bbb ccc ddd eee'
>>> s1=''.join(s.split())
>>> s1
‘aaabbbcccdddeee’

Using a list comprehension-
>>> s='aaa bbb ccc ddd eee'
>>> s1=str(''.join(([i for i in s if i!=' '])))
>>> s1
‘aaabbbcccdddeee’

If you want to specifically remove spaces from a string s, then the simplest option would be:

Code:

---

s.replace(' ', '')

---

If you want to remove whitespace in general, then aakashdata's first example would work, but a variation of aakashdata's second example to use a generator instead of a list comprehension and to check for whitespace instead of just a space might be better:

Code:

---

import string
''.join(c for c in s if c not in string.whitespace)

---
