Yes, but any accented characters have been split into the base character
and the combining accent via normalize() before, so only the accent gets

completely, but it would be possible to replace
.encode("ascii", "ignore").decode("ascii")
with something like this:
u"".join(c for c in name if unicodedata.category(c) == "Mn")
Servus,
