I know there's the unicode library, but I don't want to import anything (this is for an assignment where importing libraries loses points).
Let's say I have this string "àèéùùìssaààò" and the desired output would be "aeeuuissaaao". Is there a way to do this in Python?
A fast approach that will scan the string once
string = "àèéùùìssaààò" lookup = {"à": "a", "è": "e", "é": "e", "ù": "u", "ò": "o", "ì": "i"} clean_string = ''.join(lookup.get(x, x) for x in string) print(clean_string) output
aeeuuissaaao This code should work.
string = "àèéùùìssaààò" string = string.replace("à", "a") string = string.replace("è", "e") string = string.replace("é", "e") string = string.replace("ù", "u") string = string.replace("ò", "o") string = string.replace("ì", "i") print(string) you can use string.replace method to replace accents.
you can use string.replace like this string.replace(old, new, [count])
a little easy way
string = "àèéùùìssaààò" replacelist = ["à", "è" ,"é", "ù", "ò", "ì"] # add the accent to here correctlist = ["a", "e", "e", "u", "o", "i"] # add the normal English to here for i in range(len(replacelist)): string = string.replace(replacelist[i], correctlist[i]) print(string) this is using a for loop so it's a little more easy.
you just need to add something to the replacelist, and the correctlist.
