Python Slugify

A Python slugify application that handles unicode.

Overview

Best attempt to create slugs from unicode strings while keeping it DRY.

Notice

By default, this modules installs and uses Unidecode (GPL) for its decoding needs. However if you wish to use text-unidecode (GPL & Perl Artistic) instead, please ensure it is installed prior to python-slugify installation.

In cases where both Unidecode and text-unidecode are installed, Unidecode is used as the default decoding module.

How to use

 from slugify import slugify

 txt = "This is a test ---"
 r = slugify(txt)
 self.assertEqual(r, "this-is-a-test")

 txt = '影師嗎'
 r = slugify(txt)
 self.assertEqual(r, "ying-shi-ma")

 txt = 'C\'est déjà l\'été.'
 r = slugify(txt)
 self.assertEqual(r, "c-est-deja-l-ete")

 txt = 'Nín hǎo. Wǒ shì zhōng guó rén'
 r = slugify(txt)
 self.assertEqual(r, "nin-hao-wo-shi-zhong-guo-ren")

 txt = 'Компьютер'
 r = slugify(txt)
 self.assertEqual(r, "kompiuter")

 txt = 'jaja---lol-méméméoo--a'
 r = slugify(txt, max_length=9)
 self.assertEqual(r, "jaja-lol")

 txt = 'jaja---lol-méméméoo--a'
 r = slugify(txt, max_length=15, word_boundary=True)
 self.assertEqual(r, "jaja-lol-a")

 txt = 'jaja---lol-méméméoo--a'
 r = slugify(txt, max_length=20, word_boundary=True, separator=".")
 self.assertEqual(r, "jaja.lol.mememeoo.a")

 txt = 'one two three four five'
 r = slugify(txt, max_length=13, word_boundary=True, save_order=True)
 self.assertEqual(r, "one-two-three")

 txt = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
 r = slugify(txt, stopwords=['the'])
 self.assertEqual(r, 'quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-lazy-dog')

 txt = 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog in a hurry'
 r = slugify(txt, stopwords=['the', 'in', 'a', 'hurry'])
 self.assertEqual(r, 'quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-lazy-dog')

 txt = 'thIs Has a stopword Stopword'
 r = slugify(txt, stopwords=['Stopword'], lowercase=False)
 self.assertEqual(r, 'thIs-Has-a-stopword')

 txt = "___This is a test___"
 regex_pattern = r'[^-a-z0-9_]+'
 r = slugify(txt, regex_pattern=regex_pattern)
 self.assertEqual(r, "___this-is-a-test___")

 txt = "___This is a test___"
 regex_pattern = r'[^-a-z0-9_]+'
 r = slugify(txt, separator='_', regex_pattern=regex_pattern)
 self.assertNotEqual(r, "_this_is_a_test_")

 txt = '10 | 20 %'
 r = slugify(txt, replacements=[['|', 'or'], ['%', 'percent']])
 self.assertEqual(r, "10-or-20-percent")
