Your problem seems unclear  You say you want to remove  a character from a certain position  then go on to say you want to remove a particular character   If you only need to remove the first character you would do   s     dfa sif e  fixed   s 1     If you want to remove a character at a particular position  you would do   s     dfa sif e  fixed   s 0 pos  s pos 1     If you need to remove a particular character  say      the first time it is encountered in a string then you would do   s     dfa sif e  fixed      join s split      1

Depending on the structure of the string  you can use lstrip   str   str lstrip        But this would remove all colons at the beginning  i e  if you have   foo  the result would be foo  But this function is helpful if you also have strings that do not start with a colon and you don t want to remove the first character then
