Unicode normalization is available in the core module
[unicodedata](http://docs.python.org/2/library/unicodedata.html)
with Python 2.3.

```python
import unicodedata;

nfd  = unicodedata.normalize('NFD', str)
nfc  = unicodedata.normalize('NFC', str)
nfkd = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', str)
nfkc = unicodedata.normalize('NFKC', str)
```
