When sanitizing data coming in from HTML forms, I'm doing this (lifted from the Python Cookbook):
from string import maketrans, translate, printable allchars = maketrans('','') delchars = translate(allchars, allchars, printable) input_string = translate(input_string, allchars, delchars) Which is OK. But it seems like there should be more straightforward way that I just haven't figured out. Is there? Thanks, Steve Bergman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
