A Python module for working with the Greek alphabet.

Usage

Importing the module

from greek_alphabet import Alphabet

Getting a list of all Greek alphabet characters

alphabet_list = Alphabet.get_list()

Getting a dictionary of all Greek alphabet characters

alphabet_dict = greek_alphabet.Alphabet.get_dict()

The get_dict() method takes two optional parameters:

• key: a function that takes an AlphabetChar object and returns a string to use as the dictionary key. By default, the Greek name of the character is used.
• value: a function that takes an AlphabetChar object and returns the value to use in the dictionary. By default, the AlphabetChar object is used.

Converting between upper and lower case

# Convert a lower case letter to upper case
upper_case_char = greek_alphabet.Alphabet.upper('a')

# Convert an upper case letter to lower case
lower_case_char = greek_alphabet.Alphabet.lower('Γ')

AlphabetChar class

The AlphabetChar class represents a single character of the Greek alphabet. It has the following attributes:

• char: the character itself
• capitalized: the capitalized version of the character
• name: the name of the character in Greek
• lower: the lower case equivalent of the character
