by Harry Kalogirou Hola!
about 2 weeks ago I created a multilingual version slugify for django! You can find the code here.
What is slugify? It the function that gets us from “This is my post” to “this-is-my-post” and its used widely on the web to make human friendly URLs, where the data are not accessed by their numerical ID but by the human readable “slug”.
Django provides a function to automatically create the slug from a phrase. However that only worked for English characters. Any extended character in unicode was ignored, which resulted in empty slugs if the language was other than English.
The “downcode” function I provided maps characters in other languages to English ones. Which allows to use the slygify function that comes with Django!

Hi Harry,
We all miss you at Slyphis3D !
Really would appeciate if you could say something about:
The algorithms Sylphis3D uses for collisions and rigid body constraints. The demo avi’s show rock solid physics, that look better than some dedicated packages like Bullet.
Are the binaries for these demos downloadable anywhere?
One day when I have some time, I will try to resurrect the Linux version. If I manage to do this, I will be happy to share.
Sorry about posting here - don’t know any other way to post to you.
