You aren't using a regex to replace the quotes, either.
>>> len('abcd'.translate(str.maketrans('', '', string.ascii_letters ))) > 0
False
I don't know if this is faster than the corresponding search regex, but
depending on how much overhead regex has, it might be. Note that the translate
table can be pre-built, just like the compiled regex.
