A Python slugify application that handles unicode.
Best attempt to create slugs from unicode strings while keeping it DRY.
This module, by default installs and uses text-unidecode (GPL & Perl Artistic) for its decoding needs.
However, there is an alternative decoding package called Unidecode (GPL). It can be installed as python-slugify[unidecode] for those who prefer it.
