Github上有个不错的项目叫python-slugify:

安装:

pip install python-slugify

然后使用:

>>> from slugify import slugify
>>> txt = "This\ is/ a%#$ test ---"
>>> slugify(txt)
'this-is-a-test'

为python 3.6修改的答案

import string
import unicodedata

validFilenameChars = "-_.() %s%s" % (string.ascii_letters, string.digits)
def removeDisallowedFilenameChars(filename):
    cleanedFilename = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', filename).encode('ASCII', 'ignore')
    return ''.join(chr(c) for c in cleanedFilename if chr(c) in validFilenameChars)

为什么不直接用try/except来包装“osopen”，让底层操作系统来判断文件是否有效?

这看起来工作量少得多，而且无论您使用哪种操作系统都是有效的。

>>> import string
>>> safechars = bytearray(('_-.()' + string.digits + string.ascii_letters).encode())
>>> allchars = bytearray(range(0x100))
>>> deletechars = bytearray(set(allchars) - set(safechars))
>>> filename = u'#ab\xa0c.$%.txt'
>>> safe_filename = filename.encode('ascii', 'ignore').translate(None, deletechars).decode()
>>> safe_filename
'abc..txt'

它不处理空字符串，特殊文件名('nul'， 'con'等)。

不完全是OP要求的，但这是我使用的，因为我需要唯一的和可逆的转换:

# p3 code
def safePath (url):
    return ''.join(map(lambda ch: chr(ch) if ch in safePath.chars else '%%%02x' % ch, url.encode('utf-8')))
safePath.chars = set(map(lambda x: ord(x), '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz+-_ .'))

结果“有些”可读，至少从系统管理员的角度来看是这样。

这是Windows特定路径的另一个答案，使用简单的替换，没有时髦的模块:

import re

def check_for_illegal_char(input_str):
    # remove illegal characters for Windows file names/paths 
    # (illegal filenames are a superset (41) of the illegal path names (36))
    # this is according to windows blacklist obtained with Powershell
    # from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1976007/what-characters-are-forbidden-in-windows-and-linux-directory-names/44750843#44750843
    #
    # PS> $enc = [system.Text.Encoding]::UTF8
    # PS> $FileNameInvalidChars = [System.IO.Path]::GetInvalidFileNameChars()
    # PS> $FileNameInvalidChars | foreach { $enc.GetBytes($_) } | Out-File -FilePath InvalidFileCharCodes.txt

    illegal = '\u0022\u003c\u003e\u007c\u0000\u0001\u0002\u0003\u0004\u0005\u0006\u0007\u0008' + \
              '\u0009\u000a\u000b\u000c\u000d\u000e\u000f\u0010\u0011\u0012\u0013\u0014\u0015' + \
              '\u0016\u0017\u0018\u0019\u001a\u001b\u001c\u001d\u001e\u001f\u003a\u002a\u003f\u005c\u002f' 

    output_str, _ = re.subn('['+illegal+']','_', input_str)
    output_str = output_str.replace('\\','_')   # backslash cannot be handled by regex
    output_str = output_str.replace('..','_')   # double dots are illegal too, or at least a bad idea 
    output_str = output_str[:-1] if output_str[-1] == '.' else output_str # can't have end of line '.'

    if output_str != input_str:
        print(f"The name '{input_str}' had invalid characters, "
              f"name was modified to '{output_str}'")

    return output_str

当测试check_for_illegal_char('fas\u0003\u0004good\\..asd.')，我得到:

The name 'fas♥♦good\..asd.' had invalid characters, name was modified to 'fas__good__asd'
