"""Transliterate Unicode text into plain 7-bit ASCII.
Example usage:
>>> from unidecode import unidecode
>>> unidecode(u"\u5317\u4EB0")
"Bei Jing "
The transliteration uses a straightforward map, and doesn't have alternatives
for the same character based on language, position, or anything else.
In Python 3, a standard string object will be returned. If you need bytes, use:
>>> unidecode("Κνωσός").encode("ascii")
b'Knosos'

This function first tries to convert the string using ASCII codec.
If it fails (because of non-ASCII characters), it falls back to
transliteration using the character tables.
This is approx. five times faster if the string only contains ASCII
characters, but slightly slower than using unidecode directly if non-ASCII
chars are present.
