Solution 1 - Python

You want to replace it, not strip it:

s = s.replace(',', '')

Solution 2 - Python

Use replace method of strings not strip:

s = s.replace(',','')

An example:

>>> s = 'Foo, bar'
>>> s.replace(',',' ')
'Foo  bar'
>>> s.replace(',','')
'Foo bar'
>>> s.strip(',') # clears the ','s at the start and end of the string which there are none
'Foo, bar'
>>> s.strip(',') == s
True

Solution 3 - Python

unicode('foo,bar').translate(dict([[ord(char), u''] for char in u',']))
