Greetings
I want to slugify/normalize utf8 string however I get
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify
print slugify( unicode("şşşşüüüüççç") )
and get result as "ssssuuuccc", however I get UnicodeDecodeError 'ascii' codec cant decode ... error.
unicode()without an encoding argument tries to use ASCII to decode the given byte string, as a fail-safe default.unicode("şşşşüüüüççç")can’t work as the string is not ASCII.Use a unicode string literal:
(and of course ensure that your text editor saves the script file using the UTF-8 encoding.)
