Hmm, what exactly is the contentious code?
Morpork:~ repton$ python -m timeit -s
's="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_.-"'
'"J" in s'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.295 usec per loop
Morpork:~ repton$ python -m timeit -s 'import re' -s 'r =
re.compile("[0-9A-Za-z_.-]")' 'r.match("J")'
1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.16 usec per loop
