Python: How can I replace full-width characters with half-width characters?

Question

If this was PHP, I would probably do something like this:

function no_more_half_widths($string){
  $foo = array(\'１\',\'２\',\'３\',\'４\',\'５\',\'６\',\'７\',\'８         


        

Answer 1

Regex approach

>>> import re
>>> re.sub(u"[\uff10-\uff19]",lambda x:chr(ord(x.group(0))-0xfee0),u"４５６")
u'456'
