pypassage 1.0

Small Python module for working with bible passages/references

Python module for working with bible passages/references

It can:

• verify that a passage is valid; e.g. telling you that Ephesians 99 and Genesis 3:5-1:2 can’t exist;

• render reference strings sensibly; e.g. knowing that Ephesians 1:1-1:23 should be rendered simply as “Ephesians 1” because there are only 23 verses in that chapter;

• fill in missing information where possible; e.g. inferring that for the inputs of book=”EPH” and start_chapter=1, the whole Ephesians 1 chapter (verses 1 to 23) was intended;

• count the number of verses in a passage, and truncate or extend a passage to a given number of verses; and

• look up actual passage text using external API services.

Basic Usage:

from pypassage import Passage
p = Passage(book='Genesis', start_chapter=1, start_verse=1, end_chapter=2, end_verse=3)
