16853	"Slugify removes dotless ""i"""	yasar11732@…	nobody	"Hi,

As a Turkish Django user, I need to use slugify with strings containing Turkish dotless i. As most Turkish developers, I also expect it to convert that character to ascii ""i"", however, It just disappears in resulting string. As for now, I am using a workaround I have found in here: http://gokmengorgen.net/post/detail/djangoda-turkce-destekli-slugify/

Here is the workaround I currently use:
{{{
def slugify_unicode(value):
    value = value.replace(u'\u0131', 'i')
    value = normalize('NFKD', value).encode('ascii', 'ignore')
    value = unicode(sub('[^\w\s-]', '', value).strip().lower())
    return sub('[-\s]+', '-', value)
