Michael also schooled me on this. I made a comment on Thomas Heller's patch http://python.org/sf/561832 to indicate this info. His patch adds letters, digits, etc. but not maketrans().
I've rejected that patch -- we should use isxxx() methods instead of exposing the sets as variables. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
