New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

str.isprintable() returns True for undefined unicode code points:

>>> c = "\ufffe"
>>> unicodedata.category(c)
'Cn'             # (Other, Not Assigned)
>>> c.isprintable()
True

Same for "\u0242", "\ufb12"...

The cause is probably in unicodectype.c: _PyUnicode_IsPrintable():
    return (ctype->flags & NONPRINTABLE_MASK) == 0;
but ctype->flags is 0 for undefined chars.
