Interesting case. It's where the coding of characters
meets characters usage, scripts, typography, linguistic
features.

I cann't discuss the Portugese case, but in French
and in German one way to achieve the task is to
convert the text in uppercases. It preserves a correct
text.

>>> s = 'Lætitia  cœur  éléphant  français  LUŸ  Stoß  Erklärung  stören'
>>> libfrancais.SpecMajuscules(s)
'LAETITIA  COEUR  ELEPHANT  FRANCAIS  LUY  STOSS  ERKLAERUNG 
STOEREN'

>>> r = 'LAETITIA  COEUR  ELEPHANT  FRANCAIS  LUY  STOSS  ERKLAERUNG STOEREN'
>>> r.encode('ascii', 'strict').decode('ascii', 'strict') == r
True

PS Avoid Py3.3 :-)
