High Fidelity Slugify : support for international characters

[Sam]

I needed slugify to be more precise with accented characters and i
couldn't find some code to do it, so here it is :

http://amisphere.com/contrib/python-django/slughifi.py

http://amisphere.com/contrib/python-django/ for a quick overview

example :
>>> text = "C'est déjà l'été."
>>> slughifi(text, overwrite_char_map={u"'": "-",})
'c-est-deja-l-ete'

Any comments ?

There were similar tryings to create international slugification before:

But your approach seems to be more generic. You should certainly post
it on djangosnippets.org as a separate snippet or (maybe better) as an
extension suggestion for http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/98/
