This package can be very helpful for semiautomating the transcription of old Quranic manuscripts or fast lookups of script and typographic analysis.

Installation

pip install qran

Usage

As a python library

from qran import get_text, Index

>>> text = get_text(
...     ini_index=Index(sura=1, verse=1, word=4, block=2),
...     end_index=Index(sura=1, verse=2, word=2, block=-1),
...     args={"blocks": True},
... )
... 
>>> for grapheme_ar, grapheme, lt, archigrapheme_ar, arhigrapheme_lt in text:
...     print(grapheme_ar, grapheme, lt, archigrapheme_ar, arhigrapheme_lt)
...

Alternatively, you can use a tuple of integers instead of an Index object:

>>> text = get_text(
...     ini_index=(1, 1, 4, 2),
...     end_index=(1, 2, 2, -1),
...     args={"blocks": True},
... )

As a unix-like command:

$ qran 1:1:4:2-1:2:2 --blocks
لرَّ	LRᵚᵃ	لر	LR	1:1:4:2
حِيمِ	GᵢB₂Mᵢ	حٮم	GBM	1:1:4:3
ا	A	ا	A	1:2:1:1
لْحَمْدُ	LᵒGᵃMᵒDᵘ	لحمد	LGMD	1:2:1:2
لِلَّهِ	LᵢLᵚᵃHᵢ	لله	LLH	1:2:2:1
