bible_search

A Python package for searching multiple versions of the Bible.

Installation

pip install multi_bible_search

Usage

from multi_bible_search import BibleSearch


if __name__ == '__main__':
    searcher = BibleSearch()
    query_results = searcher.search("Jesus wept")
    print(query_results[0:10])

The search method returns a list of references. For example, the above code prints the following:

['Luke 8:52', 'Matthew 1:16', 'Luke 5:31', '1 Corinthians 2:2', 'Colossians 1:1', 'Matthew 22:41', 'Genesis 37:35', 'Luke 2:21', 'John 8:59', 'Matthew 3:16']

The results of each query are ranked by the number of keyword occurrences.

If a query is made with no matches, say "notawordinthebible," the result of the query will be a list of length 0.
