## Description

pyCTS is a minimal Python implementation of the CTS URN class as defined in the CTS protocol. It allows for performing basic operation on CTS URNs – the identifiers defined and used by the [CTS protocol](http://www.homermultitext.org/hmt-doc/cite/texts/ctsoverview.html) and the [CITE architecture](http://www.homermultitext.org/hmt-doc/cite/).

The current implementation is largely a port to python of [this CTS Java implementation](https://bitbucket.org/neelsmith/cts) by Neel Smith.

(NB: pyCTS can be very convenient for basic manipulations on CTS URNs. For advanced usage of such URNs (e.g. resolution) I recommend checking out the [MyCapytain](https://github.com/Capitains/MyCapytain/) Python library).

## Installation and Usage

Installing pyCTS is as easy as pip install pyCTS.

`python from pyCTS import CTS_URN urn = CTS_URN("urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0003.tlg001:1.173") print(urn.work) # Returns 'tlg001' print(urn.textgroup) # Returns 'tlg0003' print(urn.is_range()) # False print(urn.get_citation_depth()) # Returns 2 `

For more usage examples see the doctstring tests.
