One lesson for Perl regex users is that in Python many things can be solved without regexes. How about defining:printable = {chr(n) for n in range(32, 127)} then using: if (set(my_string) - set(printable)): break
seems computationally heavy. I have a file with about 70k lines, of which only 20 contain "funny" chars. ANy idea on how I can create a script that compares Perl speed vs. Python speed in performing the cleaning operation? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
