 >>> ord(u'ë')
235
 >>> ord(u'e')
101
 >>> cmap = {235:101}
 >>> u'hello'.translate(cmap)
u'hello'
 >>> u'hëllo'.translate(cmap)
u'hello'

The inconvenient part is to generate cmap. I suggest you write a
helper class genmap for this:

 >>> g = genmap()
 >>> g.add(u'ÀÁÂÃÄÅ', u'A')
 >>> g.add(u'èéêë', u'e')
 >>> 'László'.translate(g.cmap())
Laszlo
