Python codecs for PETSCII character sets

Project description

The petscii-codecs package provides encodings to represent data from Commodore 8-bit systems. These computers used a modified form of ASCII, commonly called PETSCII, which contains graphic symbols as well as control codes.

Codecs for the following systems are available:

  • PET 2001

  • later PETs

  • VIC-1001

  • VIC-20

  • C64

  • C16

  • Plus4

Each system has two codecs, typically one for uppercase and graphics, one for lowercase and uppercase. The exception is the VIC-1001 which has a katakana codec instead of the lowercase and uppercase one.

Usage

Codecs are used in the same way as other encodings:

import petscii_codecs

with open('example.seq', encoding='petscii_c64en_lc') as f:
    for line in f:
        print(line)
