title: How transliterate unicode text with PyICU to ASCII?
body: <p>There is the <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PyICU</a> library, which I understand can be used to transliterate strings. However there are no docs. Anyone have a simple example which transliterates a unicode string to ASCII, with <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyICU" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PyICU</a>?</p>
  
  <p>The C++ <a href="http://site.icu-project.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ICU</a> documentation <a href="http://www.icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classicu_1_1Transliterator.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">for transliteration is here</a>, but I don't understand how to call it from Python.</p>
