How do I get str.translate to work with Unicode strings?

Question

I have the following code:

import string
def translate_non_alphanumerics(to_translate, translate_to=\'_\'):
    not_letters_or_digits = u\'!\"#%\\\'()*+,-./:         


        

Answer 1

In this version you can relatively make one's letters to other

def trans(to_translate):
    tabin = u'привет'
    tabout = u'тевирп'
    tabin = [ord(char) for char in tabin]
    translate_table = dict(zip(tabin, tabout))
    return to_translate.translate(translate_table)
