Removing punctuation from string.punctuation

I would like to know how to remove some punctuation symbol from the following list

string.punctuation
Out: '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'

Specifically, I would like to remove @?&#!^_ to use it here:

def pr(text):


#1 Remove Punctuationa
nopunc = [char for char in text if char not in string.punctuation]
nopunc = ''.join(nopunc)

#2 Remove Stop Words
clean = [word for word in nopunc.split() if word.lower() not in stopwords.words('english')]

return clean

Thank you in advance for your answers and advice.

You can use re.sub

re.sub("[@?&#!^_]", "", string.punctuation)
'"$%\'()*+,-./:;<=>[\\]`{|}~'

The same way you are removing punctuation from the input string.

limited_punc = [char for char in string.punctuation if char in "@?&#!^_"]
nopunc = [char for char in text if char not in limited_punc]
