string objects...

[google account]

I know that string.letters and string.digits are all the letters and
numbers, is there a string.???? that is a subset of all the ascii
characters that are available on a US English Keyboard without going
to special characters (like ß or ¿)

I couldnt see anything that was explaining this stuff on the
python.org site.

I think what I want is soemthing like string.printabl e -
string.whitespa ce but that doesn't seem to work like string.letters +
string.numbers. ..


TIA

Minus does not work on string, as there is now obvious meaning of
this: cut from the end, or a set like minus you would be happy this
time

You may use list comprehension to filter out all whitespace from
printable and than join the list with empty separator:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> import string
>>> ''.join([c for c in string.printabl e if c not in string.whitespa ce])[/color][/color][/color]
'0123456789abcd efghijklmnopqrs tuvwxyzABCDEFGH IJKLMNOPQRSTUVW XYZ!"#$%&\'()*+ ,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'
