pip install dhaturupa

Quick start

from dhaturupa import conjugate

result = conjugate('bhū')
print(result['forms']['prathama']['ekavacana'])  # bhavati
print(result['forms']['uttama']['ekavacana'])     # bhavāmi

result = conjugate('bhū', lakara='loṭ')           # imperative
result = conjugate('bhū', pada='ātmanepada')       # override voice

conjugate() returns the 3×3 grid (puruṣa × vacana). get_all_lakaras() does it for all 10 tenses at once.
