Cross-platform filenames with accents

[Wtower]

There is an issue with filenames with accents across Mac/Win:

>>> str_win = 'Τρέχοντα υπόλοιπα προμηθευτών.xlsx' # Copied from Explorer
>>> str_mac = 'Τρέχοντα υπόλοιπα προμηθευτών.xlsx' # Copied from Finder
>>> str_win == str_mac
False

>>> str_win.encode('utf-8')
b'\xce\xa4\xcf\x81\xce\xad\xcf\x87\xce\xbf\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xcf\x85\xcf\x80\xcf\x8c\xce\xbb\xce\xbf\xce\xb9\xcf\x80\xce\xb1 \xcf\x80\xcf\x81\xce\xbf\xce\xbc\xce\xb7\xce\xb8\xce\xb5\xcf\x85\xcf\x84\xcf\x8e\xce\xbd.xlsx'

>>> str_mac.encode('utf-8')
b'\xce\xa4\xcf\x81\xce\xb5\xcc\x81\xcf\x87\xce\xbf\xce\xbd\xcf\x84\xce\xb1 \xcf\x85\xcf\x80\xce\xbf\xcc\x81\xce\xbb\xce\xbf\xce\xb9\xcf\x80\xce\xb1 \xcf\x80\xcf\x81\xce\xbf\xce\xbc\xce\xb7\xce\xb8\xce\xb5\xcf\x85\xcf\x84\xcf\x89\xcc\x81\xce\xbd.xlsx'

>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.normalize('NFD', str_win) == str_mac
True

>>> str_win == unicodedata.normalize('NFC', str_mac)
True

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> Path(str_win).is_file() # on Windows
True

>>> Path(str_win).is_file() # on Mac
True

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> Path(str_mac).is_file() # on Windows
False

>>> Path(str_mac).is_file() # on Mac
True

Therefore, normalize with unicodedata.normalize('NFC', str_mac_or_win) to solve the issue.

Remove the fuzzy matching of filenames previously attempted to solve the issue.
