Why complicated?

<code>
import string
myStr = 'some text from which you want to delete some chars'
resultStr = s.translate(string.maketrans('', ''), 'nem')
print resultStr
</code>
Output : so txt fro which you wat to dlt so chars

You just have to use maketrans with empty strings. If string is 
deprecated then I guess some other way of creating translation tables 
will be provided.
