Synopsis

                     s.translate(table,deletechars='')

Returns a copy of s where all characters occurring in string deletechars are removed, and the remaining characters are mapped through translation-table table. When s is a plain string, table must be a plain string of length 256. When s is a Unicode string, table must be a Unicode string of length 65536. Each character c is mapped to character table [ord( c )]. A plain-string table is most often built using function string.maketrans, covered later.
