You can use regular expressions to find & replace a particular pattern of characters.

In this case, a suitable regex pattern would be {\.{2}}.

{ matches a "{" character
\ matches a "" character
. matches any character except line breaks
{2} match exactly 2 of the preceding token (. in this case)
} matches a "}" character

So your python script would be:

import re

PATTERN = r'{\.{2}}'

text = '{g1}Hello world!{i6}'

clean_text = re.sub(PATTERN, '', text)

print(clean_text)

And it would produce the output:

Hello world!
