nameparts 0.5.6

Takes a full human name and splits it into individual parts

[](http://travis-ci.org/polera/nameparts)

nameparts is a Python module that I wrote to address a problem splitting full names into individual parts (first, middle, last, etc.)

You can use it like this:

>>> from nameparts import Name
>>> n = Name("Thurston Howel III")
>>> n.first_name
'Thurston'
>>> n.last_name
'Howel'
>>> n.as_dict
{'first_name': 'Thurston', 'last_name': 'Howel', \
  'middle_name': None, 'suffix': None, 'generation': 'III', \
  'salutation': None}
>>> n = Name("Smith, John Paul")
>>> n.first_name
'John'
>>> n.last_name
'Smith'
>>> n.middle_name
'Paul'
