Actually, I want to convert only punctuations (dots, commas, hyphens
and so on).

Then make your translation table manually and apply this method:

unicode.transla te

Finally

print s.encode('ascii ')

If you get an UnicodeEncodeEr ror then it means you had other (not
translated, non-ascii) characters in the original string.
