Hi,
I want to substitute some letters with accents with theire non-accented
equivalents. It should be easy, but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
trans = {}
funnychars = u"éèêëóòôöáàâäÉÈÊËÓÒÔÖÁÀÂÄ"
asciichars = "eeeeooooaaaaEEEEOOOOAAAA"
for f, a in zip(funnychars, asciichars):
trans.update({f: a})
print funnychars.translate(trans) # why doesn't this return the letters without
accents?
Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
