I am trying to learn python and couldn't figure out how to translate the following perl script to python:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use open qw(:std :utf8);
while(<>) {
s/\x{00E4}/ae/;
s/\x{00F6}/oe/;
s/\x{00FC}/ue/;
print;
}
The script just changes unicode umlauts to alternative ascii output. (So the complete output is in ascii.) I would be grateful for any hints. Thanks!
