<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577679 by <a href="/recipes/users/4167472/">Romain Dartigues</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ascii/">ascii</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sort/">sort</a>). </p> <p>I wrote this after reading The Alphanum Algorithm (<a href="http://www.davekoelle.com/alphanum.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.davekoelle.com/alphanum.html</a>) by David Koelle a few years ago; my goal was to improve the performances of the Python version of his scripts.</p> <p>My version is approximatly 10 times faster than it's <code>alphanum.py</code> and about 3 times faster than the <code>alphanum.py_v2.4</code> on my computer, yielding the same results (for non-unicode at least).</p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: see the version of wizkid in the comments which is even faster.</p>

As a vehicle to show this, it uses a small Python utility that shows the ASCII code for any ASCII character you type.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>"Slugify" a string so it is ascii, has only alphanumeric and hyphen characters. Useful for URLs and filenames. This is heavily based on the slugify in Django.</p> <p>Note: presumes that you've <code>import re</code>d higher up in your module.</p>

It shows it for the first 32 ASCII characters, the control characters, i.e. the characters with ASCII codes 0 to 31. The same logic can be extended to print the remaining ASCII characters, either upto code 127 or 255, depending on your definition of ASCII, and also on whether your PDF font supports printing all those characters.</p>
