Looking for UNICODE to ASCII Conversion Example Code

Question

I am looking for an example of a UNICODE to ASCII conversion example that will remove diacritics from characters (and leave the characters, i.e., Klüft to Kluft) as well as handle the conversion of other characters, like große to grosse.

There used to be a program called any2ascii.py (http://www.haypocalc.com/perso/prog/python/any2ascii.py ) that worked well, but the link is now broken and I can't seem to locate it.

I have seen the page Unicode strings to ASCII ...nicely, http://www.peterbe.com/plog/unicode-to-ascii, but am looking for a working example.

This: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode/
