-  For Unicode objects, the \method{translate()} method does not
-  accept the optional \var{deletechars} argument.  Instead, it
-  returns a copy of the \var{s} where all characters have been mapped

-  character mapping codec using the \refmodule{codecs} module (see
-  \module{encodings.cp1251} for an example).
