Complex compound expressions

Hi!,
Just a quick question. I am still a little shaky on
using parentheses to form complex compound
expressions. For example:

if character in string.letters or string.digits:
            print 'im a character'

this prints 'im a character' for every character
including digits and whitespaces. I can get the
desired result by using this expression:

if character in string.letters or character in
string.digits:
           print 'im a character'

However, I know that there must be a way to use a
parentheses on the top statement and get the same
result. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks,
Derek Basch
