Very slick solution!
Maybe most already know... But, parsing the polymer string as a string and using str.replace twice as you do is still much faster than using polymer as a list and using a list-comprehension to remove units (35% slower).
string
E.g.
# Faster: print(min(react(text.replace(p, '').replace(p.upper(), '')) for p in possibilities)) # Slower: text = list(text) print(min(react([unit for unit in text if unit not in (p, p.upper())]) for p in possibilities))
