Unidecode 0.04.1

Unidecode 0.04.1 offers you a powerful Python module that offers ASCII transliterations of Unicode text. It often happens that you have non-Roman text data in Unicode, but you cant display it -- usually because you're trying to show it to a user via an application that doesn't support Unicode, or because the fonts you need aren't accessible.

You could represent the Unicode characters as "???????" or " BA A0q0...", but that's nearly useless to the user who actually wants to read what the text says.

Major Features:

1. Provides a function, unidecode(...) that takes Unicode data and tries to represent it in ASCII characters (i.e., the universally displayable characters between 0x00 and 0x7F).
2. The representation is almost always an attempt at transliteration -- i.e., conveying, in Roman letters, the pronunciation expressed by the text in some other writing system.
