normalize(
    string: str,
    ignore: Sequence[str] = (),
    caseless: bool = True,
    spaceless: bool = True,
) -> str

Normalize the string according to the given spec.

By default, string is turned to lower case (actually case-folded) and all whitespace is removed. Additional characters can be removed by giving them in ignore list.

Bases: MutableMapping[str, V]

Custom dictionary implementation automatically normalizing keys.

Initialized with possible initial value and normalizing spec.

Initial values can be either a dictionary or an iterable of name/value pairs.

Normalizing spec has exact same semantics as with the :func:normalize function.
