FWIW I believe that 'in' did only work for single characters up until
version 2.X so your ideas may have been based on experiences with
an earlier Python version.
Yes, it changed in Python 2.3.

Which is much more elegant/pythonic; but I didn't know you could do

any() and all() also short-circuit, and they move the iteration out of
Python into the C runtime. My guess is the solutions with any() and
all() and equivalent hoisting of string.printable will be faster than
yours, but I don't want to take the time to check ATM...I would also try

Yes, it's a 2.5 thing.

That was my favorite, too. I didn't notice the new all method in 2.5. It
certainly seems the most Pythonic approach.
all() has a sister built-in function, also introduced in 2.5, so i

Yes, it's a 2.5 thing. All returns true if all of the elements of an
iterable are true. According to the docs, it is the equivalent
