I am working with data that is coming from a file, gets stored, abnd eventually gets pushed to an HTML page. I was having problems with unsupported characters in the HTML side so I figured I would eliminate the non-prinatble characters from my string. So I have:
value_encoded = cmd.encode ("ascii", "replace")
I have also used ignore (strict will throw an exception because of these characters). I would expect that the charcater code 0x8 would get caught by this and replaced/ignored but it does not, I guess its considered a valid ASCII character. Is there a way to remove the non-printable characters from the string?

Many tools have and escape() function which will return "\x08" which python can handle.
My concern is there will be other characters that cause my HTML page to fail to load. As it stands one tiny error and the whole page does not load. Any idea if there are other characters to be concerned with?
