ispunct

A small Python library for checking whether a character is a punctuation character.

---

Quick Start

from ispunct import ispunct

assert ispunct("?")
assert not ispunct("a")
assert ispunct("‽")

Using ispunct as a Library

This package is published on PyPI. You can install it with PIP:

$ pip add ispunct

Or, if using UV for dependency management:

$ uv add ispunct

Notes on Internal Functionality

This library also implements (and uses internally) bitwise functions to calculate the number of leading/trailing zeros/ones in the bitwise representation of a Python integer. We also compute a Python integer that has the same bitpattern as a given character (i.e., simulating Julia's bitcast).
