Désolé Antoine,

I have not the knowledge to dive in the Python code,
but I know what is a character.

The coding of the characters is a domain per se,
independent from the os, from the computer languages.

Before spending time to implement a new algorithm,
maybe it is better to ask, if there is something
better than the actual schemes.

I still remember my thoughts when I read the PEP 393
discussion: "this is not logical", "they do no understand
typography", "atomic character ???", ...

Real world exemples.

>>> import libfrancais
>>> li = ['noël', 'noir', 'nœud', 'noduleux', \
...     'noétique', 'noèse', 'noirâtre']
>>> r = libfrancais.sortfr(li)
>>> r
['noduleux', 'noël', 'noèse', 'noétique', 'nœud', 'noir',
'noirâtre']

(cf "Le Petit Robert")

or

The *letters* satisfying the requirements of the
"Imprimerie nationale".
