As always, there's a shorter way to do it:
remove_diacritics = lambda s: ''.join([c for c in normalize('NFD', s)
if ord(c) < 128])
But this will throw away some characters since normalize will sometimes just
return the character itself if there's no decomposition, so if you have
characters like that and you want some sensible translation (like ß
to ss), you may have to create a translation table for them).
