I wasn't even aware there was a slugify; mine looks something like this[1]."
However, if you are passing the actual string
"“stuffhere”" to slugify(), you are escaping it too early.
It should go something like slugify(txt), escape(txt), response(txt).
This is more of a django-users matter at this point though.
If you suggest that slugify() detects already-escaped html entities
and strips them, I'm extremely extremely strongly against it. But then
again, I use my own ...
[1]
strin = """ ".,?!:;%*#&+=()[]<>/"""
strout = "---------------------/"
def slugify(txt):
... trans = maketrans(strin, strout)
... txt = unicode(txt)
... txt = normalize("NFKD", txt).encode("ascii", "ignore").strip().lower()
... txt = txt.replace("'", "").translate(trans)
... txt = "-".join(seg for seg in txt.split("-") if seg)[:50].rstrip("-")
... return txt
