Minus does not work on string, as there is now obvious meaning of
this: cut from the end, or a set like minus you would be happy this
time

You may use list comprehension to filter out all whitespace from
printable and than join the list with empty separator:

>>> import string
>>> ''.join([c for c in string.printable if c not in string.whitespace])
'0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ!"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~'
