slugify is a generic slugifier utility, inspired by Django’s slugify
template filter, packaged as a standalone Python library and command-line
application.
% [sudo] pip install slugify # OR
% [sudo] easy_install slugify
>>> import slugify
>>> slugify.slugify(u"Héllø Wörld")
u"hello-world"
% echo "Héllø Wörld" | slugify
hello-world

The slugifying routine is derived from Django, and as such is BSD-licensed:
