A Python library that generates URL-safe slugs from text, with best-effort handling of Unicode strings via transliteration. It offers options for HTML entity decoding, length limits, stopwords, custom separators, and custom replacement rules.

Use cases

• generate url-safe slugs from article titles
• convert unicode text like chinese or accented characters to ascii slugs
• create seo-friendly urls from any string
• slugify strings with custom separators and stopwords
• truncate slugs to a max length at word boundaries

When to choose

• you need robust unicode-to-slug conversion in Python
• you want configurable slug generation with entity decoding and length control
• you need a mature, widely-used slug library with an MIT license

When to avoid

• you need slugs in a non-Python stack
• you only need simple ASCII slugification and want zero dependencies
• you need transliteration quality beyond what unidecode-style decoding provides
