Here's one: >>> a = ''.join([chr(i) for i in xrange(64)]) >>> a '\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f \x10\x11\x12\x13\x14\x15\x16\x17\x18\x19\x1a\x1b\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f !"#$%& \'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?' >>> b = ''.join([i for i in a if ord(i)>32]) >>> b '!"#$%&\'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
