try this:
## yourmodule.py ##
def _setup_table():
import string
all=string.maketrans('','')
badcars=all.translate(all,string.letters+string.digits)
return string.maketrans(badcars,'_'*len(badcars))
TABLE = _setup_table()
# optional, get rid of _setup_table symbol
del _setup_table()
def translate(text):
return text.translate(TABLE)
