    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:

    print slugify(u"şşşşüüüüççç")
    

    (and of course ensure that your text editor saves the script file using the UTF-8 encoding.)
