I'm removing an char from string like this:
S = "abcd"
Index=1 #index of string to remove
ListS = list(S)
ListS.pop(Index)
S = "".join(ListS)
print S
#"acd"
I'm sure that this is not the best way to do it.
EDIT I didn't mentioned that I need to manipulate a string size with length ~ 10^7. So it's important to care about efficiency.
Can someone help me. Which pythonic way to do it?
You can bypass all the list operations with slicing:
S = S[:1] + S[2:]
or more generally
S = S[:Index] + S[Index + 1:]
Many answers to your question (including ones like this) can be found here: How to delete a character from a string using python? . However, that question is nominally about deleting by value, not by index.
Slicing is the best and easiest approach I can think of, here are some other alternatives:
>>> s = 'abcd'
>>> def remove(s, indx):
return ''.join(x for x in s if s.index(x) != indx)
>>> remove(s, 1)
'acd'
>>>
>>>
>>> def remove(s, indx):
return ''.join(filter(lambda x: s.index(x) != 1, s))
>>> remove(s, 1)
'acd'
Remember that indexing is zero-based.
You can replace the Index character with "".
str = "ab1cd1ef"
Index = 3
print(str.replace(str[Index],"",1))
S = "abcd"
Index=1 #index of string to remove
S = S.replace(S[Index], "")
print(S)
I hope it helps!

n = abs(n)
front = str[:n] # up to but not including n
back = str[n+1:] # n+1 through end of string
return front + back
