Interesting case. It's where the coding of characters
meets characters usage, scripts, typography, linguistic
features.
I cann't discuss the Portugese case, but in French
and in German one way to achieve the task is to
convert the text in uppercases. It preserves a correct
text.
>>> s = 'Lætitia cœur éléphant français LUŸ Stoß Erklärung stören'
>>> libfrancais.SpecMajuscules(s)
'LAETITIA COEUR ELEPHANT FRANCAIS LUY STOSS ERKLAERUNG
STOEREN'
>>> r = 'LAETITIA COEUR ELEPHANT FRANCAIS LUY STOSS ERKLAERUNG STOEREN'
>>> r.encode('ascii', 'strict').decode('ascii', 'strict') == r
True
PS Avoid Py3.3 :-)
