Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

slugify
✓ from slugify import slugify
✗ from awesome_slugify import slugify
Package name has an underscore in path; best practice is to import from 'slugify', though 'awesome_slugify' also works.
UniqueSlugify
✓ from slugify import UniqueSlugify

Basic usage: converts a string into an ASCII slug.

from slugify import slugify text = "Hello World!" result = slugify(text) print(result) # hello-world
Debug
Known issues
deprecatedLibrary is in maintenance mode with no new releases since 2018. Consider using python-slugify for active support and Unicode handling.
fix
Switch to 'python-slugify' library: pip install python-slugify and use from slugify import slugify.
affects: >=1.6.5
gotchaThe 'slugify' function by default lowers output and replaces spaces with hyphens, but does not strip leading/trailing hyphens. This can result in unexpected slugs like "-hello-".
fix
Manually strip hyphens: slugify(text).strip('-')
affects: all
gotchaInstallation via pip install awesome-slugify installs the package with name 'awesome-slugify', but the import module is 'slugify'. This mismatch often causes confusion.
fix
Import as 'from slugify import slugify' (not 'from awesome_slugify').
affects: all
Errors
Common errors & fixes
ImportError: No module named 'slugify'
Package installed as 'awesome-slugify', but import expects 'slugify'. Sometimes the module is not correctly exposed because of an older pip version or broken installation.
fix
Run: pip install --upgrade awesome-slugify
Then use: from slugify import slugify
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
slugify expects bytes input or unicode; input string might need explicit encoding.
fix
Pass Unicode strings: slugify(u'café') or decode bytes: slugify(b'caf\xc3\xa9'.decode('utf-8'))
