Python 3.6+ package containing various utilities relevant in the field of digital humanities.

$ pip install dh-utils

TEI utilities

Tag languages in a given string based on its script:

>>> from dh_utils import tei as t
>>> t.tag('A line contaning the hebrew אגוז מלך inline', 'Hebr')
'A line contaning the hebrew <foreign xml:lang="he-Hebr">אגוז מלך</foreign> inline'

It is also possible to tag a given language based on its script in a TEI XML document (NB: file will be overwritten!):

>>> t.tag_xml('path/to/file.xml', 'Arab')

The available scripts are stored in AVAILABLE_SCRIPTS and are enumerated below:

>>> t.AVAILABLE_SCRIPTS
['Arab', 'Copt', 'Hebr', 'Latn', 'Cyrl']

Default language-script codes are used to tag the scripts (stored in DEFAULT_LCS), which can be adjusted using the language_code keyword argument:

>>> t.tag_xml('path/to/file.xml', 'Cyrl', language_code = 'ov-Cyrs')

Unicode utilities

Decompose any unicode string:

>>> from dh_utils import unicode as u
>>> u.decompose('λόγος')
