One lesson for Perl regex users is that in Python many things can be solved without regexes. How about defining:

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

then using:

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

Here's another handy Perl regex which I am not sure how to translate to
Python.

I use it to avoid processing lines that contain funny chars...

if ($string =~ /[^[:print:]]/) {next OUTER;}
