I still wonder whether this might be worth introducing as a new
string method, or an option to translate. But the earliest that will
happen is Python 3.7, so in the meantime, something like this should
be enough:
# untested
keep = "abcdßαβπд∞"
text = "..."
# Find all the characters in text that are not in keep:
delchars = set(text) - set(keep)
delchars = ''.join(delchars)
text = text.translate(str.maketrans("", "", delchars))
