6 months ago We've been discussing this in our Slack channel, but here's a bit of context here that we can track since I followed up on this:
medspacy QuickUMLS still does use unidecode. An example of it is here:
https://github.com/medspacy/QuickUMLS/blob/master/quickumls/core.py
Specifically, it use used to optionally normalize unicode here:
Here's what the code looks like:
if self.normalize_unicode_flag:
ngram_normalized = unidecode(ngram_normalized)
The unidecode package is mentioned on the requirements.txt. However, I did not find an import for it. Not sure what package requires it. My suggestion is to replace it with a package that has a friendlier license.
