slugify
(s, entities=True, decimal=True, hexadecimal=True)[source]¶ Convert a string to a slug representation.
Normalizes string, converts to lower-case, removes non-alpha characters, and converts spaces to hyphens.
Parts from http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/369/
>>> slugify("Manuel Vázquez Acosta") # doctest: +SKIP 'manuel-vazquez-acosta'
If s and entities is True (the default) all HTML entities are replaced by its equivalent character before normalization:
>>> slugify("Manuel Vázquez Acosta") 'manuel-vazquez-acosta'
If entities is False, then no HTML-entities substitution is made:
>>> value = "Manuel Vázquez Acosta" >>> slugify(value, entities=False) 'manuel-v-aacute-zquez-acosta'
If decimal is True, then all entities of the form
&#nnnn
where nnnn is a decimal number deemed as a unicode codepoint, are replaced by the corresponding unicode character:>>> slugify('Manuel Vázquez Acosta') 'manuel-vazquez-acosta' >>> value = 'Manuel Vázquez Acosta' >>> slugify(value, decimal=False) 'manuel-v-225-zquez-acosta'
If hexadecimal is True, then all entities of the form
&#nnnn
where nnnn is a hexdecimal number deemed as a unicode codepoint, are replaced by the corresponding unicode character:>>> slugify('Manuel Vázquez Acosta') 'manuel-vazquez-acosta' >>> slugify('Manuel Vázquez Acosta', hexadecimal=False) 'manuel-v-x00e1-zquez-acosta'
