What is best pure Python implementation to check if a string contains ANY letters from the alphabet?
string_1 = "(555).555-5555" string_2 = "(555) 555 - 5555 ext. 5555
Where string_1
would return False
for having no letters of the alphabet in it and string_2
would return True
for having letter.

Regex should be a fast approach:
re.search('[a-zA-Z]', the_string)
