Python makes regular expressions available through the re module.

If you want to check that a string contains only a certain set of characters, in this case a-z, A-Z and 0-9, you can do so like this,

import re
def is_allowed(string):
characherRegex = re.compile(r'[^a-zA-Z0-9.]')
string = characherRegex.search(string)
return not bool(string)
print (is_allowed("abyzABYZ0099"))
# Output: 'True'

print (is_allowed("#*@#$%^"))
# Output: 'False'

OUTPUT:
True
False

You can also adapt the expression line from [^a-zA-Z0-9.] to [^a-z0-9.] , to disallow uppercase letters for
example.

The re.search() method takes a regular expression pattern and a string and searches for that pattern within the string. If the search is successful, search() returns a match object or None otherwise.
