One lesson for Perl regex users is that in Python many things can be solved

How about defining:

printable = {chr(n) for n in range(32, 127)}

then using:

if (set(my_string) - set(printable)):
     break

seems computationally heavy. I have a file with about 70k lines, of which only 20 contain 
"funny" chars.

ANy idea on how I can create a script that compares Perl speed vs. Python speed
in performing the cleaning operation?
