Description: This package contains codecs for transliterating ISO 10646 texts
        into best-effort representations using smaller coded character sets
        (ASCII, ISO 8859, etc.). It is a C reimplementation of the
        [translitcodec][1] module by Jason Kirtland, as well as a
        drop-in replacement.
        
        The translation tables used by the codecs are from the [transtab][2]
        collection by [Prof. Markus Kuhn][3], with some extensions by
        [Fazal Majid][4].
        
        Three types of transliterating codecs are provided:
        
          "long", using as many characters as needed to make a natural
           replacement.  For example, \u00e4 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH
           DIAERESIS ``ä`` will be replaced with ``ae``.
        
          "short", using the minimum number of characters to make a
          replacement.  For example, \u00e4 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH
          DIAERESIS ``ä`` will be replaced with ``a``.
        
          "one", only performing single character replacements.  Characters
          that can not be transliterated with a single character are passed
          through unchanged. For example, \u2639 WHITE FROWNING FACE ``☹``
          will be passed through unchanged.
        
        Using the codecs is simple::
        
          >>> import ctranslitcodec
          >>> import codecs
          >>> codecs.encode(u'fácil € ☺', 'ctranslit/long')
          u'facil EUR :-)'
          >>> codecs.encode(u'fácil € ☺', 'ctranslit/short')
          u'facil E :-)'
