And another way to do it is:

mess = open('mess.txt', 'r').read()
for ch in string.punctuation:
    try:
        mess = mess.replace(ch, '')
    finally:
        mess = mess.replace('\n', '')

print mess

I’m working (hard, xD) at the EPS every day: every morning, every afternoon. I’m studying a master at EPS. Hope to see you soon.

I’m also to blame. I’ve been disappeared for months, I know, I know ^-^

Hey Trusko! Long time no see ;)
I’m glad to know you’ve passed by. I hope I’ll be seeing you soon in one of my visits to the EPS ;)

I know I’m the first one to blame for not keeping in touch, but lately it’s been work work and some more of that thing the call work. Luckily it’s also a lot of fun, but nevertheless… :)

Comment on Python Challenge level 0: “warming up!” by Emmet

Of course I’m not forced to read this — I would have understood that even without the disclaimer! :)

The problem is that the competitive aspect of this game is ruined as there is no (easy) way for me to control whether my colleagues are actually solving the problems at the pace they state, or if they’re simply coming here to read up on the solutions.

It’s also a lot less satisfying to beat the game when noone will really know if you did it for real or if you just read the solutions here (and yes — this is different from just claiming you beat the game without even taking it as you can discuss the solutions).

If one is really stuck (and there is a point in getting past a level in the game without figuring out the solution yourself), maybe a little hint would have sufficed?

Yep.. smart trick, indeed! :-)

I didn’t realize someone was forcing you to read this. Obviously you didn’t get to the warning above. Let me repost it for you: “Warning: You should only read these Python Challenge Chronicles of mine if you are really stuck on some point. Otherwise you’ll only end up spoiling your fun.”.
