There are several ways this can be accomplished.

You can make use of the builtin string function .replace() to replace all occurrences of quotes in a given string:
```
>>> s = '"abcd" efgh'
>>> s.replace('"', '')
'abcd efgh'
>>> 
```
You can use the string function .join() and a generator expression to remove all quotes from a given string:
```
>>> s = '"abcd" efgh'
>>> ''.join(c for c in s if c not in '"')
'abcd efgh'
>>> 
```
You can use a regular expression to remove all quotes from given string. This has the added advantage of letting you have control over when and where a quote should be deleted:
```
>>> s = '"abcd" efgh'
>>> import re
>>> re.sub('"', '', s)
'abcd efgh'
>>> 
```

Just use string methods  replace   if they occur throughout  or  strip   if they only occur at the start and or finish   a     sajdkasjdsak   asdasdasds     a   a replace           sajdkasjdsak asdasdasds     or  if they only occur at start and end    a   a strip        sajdkasjdsak   asdasdasds     or  if they only occur at start    a   a lstrip          or  if they only occur at end    a   a rstrip
