Hi, Does anyone know of any Unicode encode/decode error handler that does a better replace job than the default replace error handler?
For example I have an iso-8859-1 string that has an 'e' with an accent (you know, the French 'e's). When I use s.encode('ascii', 'replace') the 'e' will be replaced with '?'. I would prefer to be replaced with an 'e' even if I know it is not 100% correct. If only this letter would be the problem I would do it manually, but there is an entire set of letters that need to be replaced with their closest ascii letter. Is there an encode/decode error handler that can replace all the not-ascii letters from iso-8859-1 with their closest ascii letter?
