string.punctuation for languages like French or German - Leo978 - Jun-06-2020
string.punctuation gives me
'!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~',but that's not sufficient for other languages like French or German. What I can I do with other languages?

You could make a unicode_punctuation.

import sys
from unicodedata import category
punctuation_chars = [
chr(i) for i in range(sys.maxunicode)
if category(chr(i)).startswith("P")
]If you have to work with foreign languages, look for gettext and babel. The programmer does i18n (internationalization) and the translators are doing the l10n (localization).
