I would like to use this little snippet from Armin Ronacher, because it produces real nice slugs and e.g. converts ö to oe instead of o or -- like it is doing now.
But to use this we need http://pypi.python.org/pypi/translitcodec as a dependency.
import re
import translitcodec
_punct_re = re.compile(r'[\t !"#$%&\'()*\-/<=>?@\[\\\]^_`{|},.]+')
def slugify(text, delim=u'-'):
"""Generates an ASCII-only slug."""
result = []
for word in _punct_re.split(text.lower()):
word = word.encode('translit/long')
if word:
result.append(word)
return unicode(delim.join(result))
