===================
Pyvarnam is a python wrapper to the libvarnam library.
Varnam is an open-source transliterator suited for Indian languages and the
main component is a C library called libvarnam
. Pyvarnam provides python bindings for libvarnam.
You need to install libvarnam for pyvarnam to work. You could refer libvarnam installation to find out how to install libvarnam.
You can install it from PyPi using
pip install pyvarnam
Or you can download the archive, un-tar/zip and cd
into the directory you unzipped the
archive into, and then run
user@user-pc:~/unzipped-dir$ python setup.py install
To transliterate with pyvarnam, you just have to run the following.
from pyvarnam import varnam
var_lib = varnam()
var_lib.varnam_init_from_id("ml")
result = var_lib.varnam_transliterate("varnam")
if result is not None:
print result[0][0]
As of now only some of the functions mentioned in libvarnam/api.h has been implemented. You could refer varnam.py
to
see which all functions are available.
A basic test suite has been implemented based on the transliteration tests in
libvarnam. To run them, cd
to the tests
folder in the archive and run
python test.py
Currently pyvarnam has only been tested in Debian. If you find any bugs or would like to suggest some other changes, report the issue here or feel free to contact me.
