Skeleton function

[don-mums]

Hi!
There used to be confusables for python that I forked and no longer exists. It had one very useful function skeleton(). It returned string that transformed all confusables to normalized values. So you could detect that original strings don't match but normalized strings match. Like A in latin and А in azbuka.

Is this something you would like to include into your project? The only thing I found that remotely resembles skeleton() is _asciify() but this also removes all non ascii characters, which is not very useful for us. As you can see on the example below.

'Veľký Krtíš'.encode('ascii', 'ignore').decode('ascii') == 'Vek Krt'

Is normalize what you're referring to?

@don-mums normalize is intended to provide that behaviour

Maybe OP is talking about https://gitlab.com/dirn/flake8-confusables?

In my case, line https://gitlab.com/dirn/flake8-confusables/-/blob/master/flake8_confusables.py#L39 blows up, and the flake8-confusables developer hasn't specified a confusables version (https://gitlab.com/dirn/flake8-confusables/-/blob/master/setup.py#L33)

Sorry I've lost all context from this issue. I don't work for the company where we needed this. I even switched Python for Elixir. I don't care. I'm closing this so nobody is wasting time looking into this when i apparently has solution.
