My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
This is not "unicode", only string manipulations.
The same work could be done with, let say, cp1252.
The difference lies in the repertoires of characters
to be handled.
A better way is to work with normalization() and/or
with methods like .translate() with dedicated
tables; the hard task being the creation of these tables.
Shortly, very naive.
jmf
You'll have to excuse my ignorance of this stuff. How do I express the
following in cp1252?
def test_musical_notes():
txt = "Is ♬ ♫ ♪ ♩ a melody or just noise?"
assert slugify(txt) == "Is-a-melody-or-just-noise"
assert slugify_unicode(txt) == "Is-a-melody-or-just-noise"

Understand: The same work (string manipulation) ...
Would something like this not be more informative?
"Is ♬ ♫ ♪ ♩ a melody or just noise?".encode('ascii', 'replace').decode('ascii')
'Is ? ? ? ? a melody or just noise?'
cp1252 analogy.
'abc€€€'.encode('cp1252').decode('ascii', 'replace').encode('ascii',
'replace').decode('ascii')
'abc???'
Again, not a "unicode" question, more "how to handle strings in a judicious
way?"
jmf
Now I'm really confused. I thought that the musical notes I've shown
above are represented as unicode characters. So I'd like to see how you
jmf would represent them in cp1252. Instead you give me an example
showing a simple string manipulation which simply strips the characters
that I want to see, then an even simpler example, clearly not what I've
asked for.
