I would like to compare 2 strings and have True
if the strings are identical, without considering the accents.
Example : I would like the following code to print 'Bonjour'
if 'séquoia' in 'Mon sequoia est vert':
print 'Bonjour'
You should use unidecode
function from Unidecode package:
from unidecode import unidecode
if unidecode(u'séquoia') in 'Mon sequoia est vert':
print 'Bonjour'
