normality
Normality is a Python micro-package that contains a small set of text normalization functions for easier re-use. These functions accept a snippet of unicode or utf-8 encoded text and remove various classes of characters, such as diacritics, punctuation etc. This is useful as a preparation to further text analysis.
WARNING: As of version 3.0, normality requires pyicu as a mandatory dependency. If you cannot install pyicu, consider using normality < 3.0.0.
Example
# coding: utf-8
from normality import normalize, slugify, collapse_spaces, ascii_text, latinize_text
text = normalize('Nie wieder "Grüne Süppchen" kochen!')
assert text == 'nie wieder grune suppchen kochen'
slug = slugify('My first blog post!')
assert slug == 'my-first-blog-post'
text = 'this \n\n\r\nhas\tlots of \nodd spacing.'
assert collapse_spaces(text) == 'this has lots of odd spacing.'
