If you can wait until 1.6a1, due in a month or so, your problem will
be solved, as Python will speak Unicode and has all the converters
available.

If you can't wait you'll have to dig up a translation table
somewhere. Once you have such a table ... Hmm, let me check [... pom
pom ...] No, I thought I might have one lying around. Anyway, once you 
have such a table you make a string with 256 characters, where the
N-th character is 'M' if chr(N) in your source-charset should be
translated to 'M' in your destination set. You pass this as an
argument to string.translate and there you are.
