Check for funny characters with a regexp

[perfringo]

I want to be able to check if a string contains any of the following "funny" characters

There is built-in any() which could be used for checking:

>>> checklist = "ā㥹ĆćČčĎďĐđēĕĖėęěĞğġīįİıĽľŁłŃńņňŋŌōőŒœŕřŚśŞşŠšŢţťŧũūŮűųŹźŻżŽžſ"
>>> s = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
>>> any(char in checklist for char in s)
False
>>> s = 'abcā'
>>> any(char in checklist for char in s)
True

Explained:

for char in s for every character in string to be checked
char in checklist return boolean value whether character is in checklist
any() has short-circuit behaviour i.e. if first character which is in checklist (boolean value True) is found it stops and returns True
