Setup

You can install this package by using the pip tool and installing:

$ pip install pynysiis

Or:

$ easy_install pynysiis

Usage Example

from nysiis import NYSIIS

# Create an instance of the NYSIIS class
nysiis = NYSIIS()

# Encode a string using the NYSIIS instance
name = "Watkins"
coded_name = nysiis.encode(name)
print(coded_name) # Output: "WATCAN"
