title: How to match English word with its equivalent Accented characters in Python
body: <p>I am trying to automate an application, where it is as like google engine. When user enters "société" (Accented character), it gives details which has either "société"(Accented) or "societe" (English) in it.</p>
  
  <p>So my job is to validate is details contains given keyword.  I dont have problem on comparing accented characters. EX: "société" = "société". But the case "société" == "societe" fails. Python code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &gt;&gt;&gt; "société".find("societe")
   -1 #Fail
   &gt;&gt;&gt; "société".find("société")
   0  #Success
   &gt;&gt;&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So how to match equivalent english word in Accented characters. </p>
  
  <p>Any help will be highly apreciated. Thanks</p>
