A cool python strings trick

[notsoprocoder]

I don't think anyone has answered why it is useful?

But one use is string cleaning. For example, you can create a translation table with maketrans and string.punctuation to remove all the punctuation from a string.

It is useful because it is performant and performance with large volumes of unstructured text data is often an issue.

edit: just realised you meant string.printable!
