What I use here the following:
def stringLegalize( text, joinchar=None, codif='utf-8' ):
"""
stringLegalize( text, joinchar, codif ) -> str
Replaces the illegal characters of a string for their respective
alternatives.
Special characters like bullets, etc are simply removed.
@param text: String
@oaram joinchar: String. Character to be used to replace spaces.
Default is None
@param codif: String. String representing the encoding type. Default
value is 'utf-8'
@return: String
"""
from unicodedata import normalize
legalstring = normalize( 'NFKD',
text.decode(codif)).encode('ASCII','ignore' )
if joinchar:
return joinchar.join( legalstring.split() )
else:
return legalstring
s = 'Braço do João 01'
stringLegalize( s, '_' )
>> 'Braco_do_Joao_01'
Hope it helps.
cheers,
diogo
