I've got a bunch of text in Portuguese and to transmit them, need to
have them in us-ascii (7-bit). I'd like to keep as much information
as possible, just stripping accents, cedillas, tildes, etc. So
"serviço móvil" becomes "servico movil". Is there anything stock
that I've missed? I can do mystring.encode('us-ascii', 'replace')
but that doesn't keep as much information as I'd hope.
