Question about string.printable and non-printable characters

Hi there,

I'm using the following method in my program to check whether a message 
received is printable or not and to strip the non-printable characters:

CheckPrintable(self,message):
	printablemessage = ""
	for char in message:
		if char in string.printable: printablemessage = printablemessage + 
char
	return printablemessage

The method is working fine, except in one detail, it's also stripping 
the accented letters which I didn't want to happen. Is there a 
string.printable declaration which contains accented letters? Thanks in 
advance. If you can, please reply to my email.
