Try this instead:

import string
s = "string. With. Punctuation?"
out = s.translate(str.maketrans("", "", string.punctuation))

Due to the changes in string handling (s is a Unicode string in Python
3, not a string of bytes), str.translate() got changed. Check out
help(str.maketrans) and help(str.translate) in interactive Python for
more details.
