Use unidecode:

$ pip install unidecode

from unidecode import unidecode
print(unidecode('Arrepieí'))
Arrepiei

str = 'café'
print(unidecode(str))
cafe

Use unidecode:

from unicodedata import normalize

source = 'Arapeí'
target = normalize('NFKD', source).encode('ASCII','ignore').decode('ASCII')
print(target)
