from slugify import Slugify, CYRILLIC, GERMAN, GREEK
slugify = Slugify()
slugify_unicode = Slugify(translate=None)
slugify_url = Slugify()
slugify_url.to_lower = True
slugify_url.stop_words = ('a', 'an', 'the')
slugify_url.max_length = 200
slugify_filename = Slugify()
slugify_filename.separator = '_'
slugify_filename.safe_chars = '-.'
slugify_filename.max_length = 255
slugify_ru = Slugify(pretranslate=CYRILLIC)
slugify_de = Slugify(pretranslate=GERMAN)
slugify_el = Slugify(pretranslate=GREEK)

slugify_unique('cellar door') # cellar-door-1
Custom Unique Slugify Checker
from slugify import UniqueSlugify
def my_unique_check(text, uids):
if text in uids:
return False
return not SomeDBClass.objects.filter(slug_field=text).exists()
custom_slugify_unique = UniqueSlugify(unique_check=my_unique_check)
# Checks the database for a matching document
custom_slugify_unique('te occidere possunt')
