You can use str.replace, it takes a third argument which specifies the number of occurrences to replace.

>>> your_str = "1,395,54"
>>> your_str.replace(",", "", 1)
'1395,54'

By slicing the string. The find method return the index of the first match

s = "1,395,54"

index = s.find(',')
print(s[:index] + s[index+1:])
