I have a Swedish children's book somewhere, in which some characters are
harassed by a big ugly

So why do you want to strip off accents? The history of communication
has severa
Thank you for your answers.
In fact, I'm getting start with Python.
I was looking for transform a text through elementary cryptographic
processes (Vigenère).
The initial text is in a file, and my system is under UTF-8 by default

maketrans works on bytes, not characters. what makes you think that you
can use maketrans if you haven't gotten the slightest idea what's in the
string?
if you want to get rid of accents in a Unicode string, you can do the
approach

>>> len('à') == len('a')
True
are you perhaps using an UTF-8 editor?
to keep your sanity, no matter what editor you're using, I recommend
adding a coding directive to the source file, and using *only* Unicode
string literals for n
Hi,
I'm bringing over a thread that's going on on f.c.l.python.
The point was to get rid of french accents from words.
We noticed that len('à') != len('a') and I found the hack below to fix
the "problem" ... yet I do not understand - especially since 'à' is
included in the extended ASCII table,
23 matches
