I had to do this inorder to access them:
def translate( text ):
import string
all=string.maketrans('','')
badcars=all.translate(all,string.letters+string.digits)
TABLE = string.maketrans(badcars,'_'*len(badcars))
global translate
def translate( text ):
return text.translate(TABLE)
print "First Call! ", # -- Just to showoff --
translate.all = all
translate.badcars = badcars
return translate( text )
print translate("If I was ...")
print translate("If I was ...")
print "badcars:", len(translate.badcars)

I got the idea from Hung Jung Lu, here:

How the trail got there I've no idea ;-)
