Text normalization for string comparison in Python.

This maps a Unicode code point key represented as an integer to a corresponding ASCII character mapping. In some cases such as Hebrew niqqud & cantillation, we remove the character altogether or replace certain punctuation with a space.

In addition, some characters are removed prior to normalization. For example, Unicode control chars.

This project requires Python 3.7+

To install with pip

pip install string_comparison

import string_comparison
normalized = string_comparison.normalize("é")
assert normalized == "e"
