How do I check if a value is a valid IP address in Python using the ipaddress module?

To check if a string contains only printable characters in Python, you can utilize thestring module and thestring.printable constant. Thestring.printable constant contains all the printable characters in ASCII, including digits, letters, punctuation marks, and whitespace. Here's an example of how you can perform this check:

import string

def contains_only_printable(string):
    for char in string:
   if char not in string.printable:
  return False
    return True

# Usage:
input_string = input("Enter a string: ")
if contains_only_printable(input_string):
    print("The string contains only printable characters.")
else:
    print("The string contains non-printable characters.")

In the above code, thecontains_only_printable() function takes astring parameter representing the input string to check. It iterates through each character in the string using afor loop and checks if the character is present instring.printable, which contains all the printable characters. If any character is found that is not instring.printable, the function immediately returnsFalse, indicating that the string contains non-printable characters. If the loop completes without finding any non-printable characters, the function returnsTrue, indicating that the string contains only printable characters. You can use thecontains_only_printable() function by providing a string as an argument. It will check if the string contains only printable characters by comparing each character againststring.printable. The result is then printed accordingly. Please note that thestring.printable constant represents the printable characters in ASCII. If you are working with non-ASCII characters or need to include additional printable characters beyond the ASCII range, you may need to customize the character set or consider using a different approach based on your specific requirements.
