remove special characters from line

[Chris Rennert]

I apologize for being vague on what a "special" character is in my context.
For me, it would be anything that isn't A..Z , a..z, or 0..9  .
My list seems to work, or like it was suggested I could have used a string
as well.  I thank everyone for the help, and I am really enjoying learning
Python.

Thanks again,
Chris Rennert
