I'm not sure I understand ... your original code was intended to translate
punctuation marks into spaces? In my newsreader I suspect that a load of
spaces in the second argument to maketrans() were trimmed as part of a
line-wrap, so the code wasn't too obvious.

Perhaps you could explain again what it is you want to do.
