Import readtime and pass it some text, HTML, or Markdown to get back the time it takes to read:
>>> import readtime >>> result = readtime.of_text('The shortest blog post in the world!') >>> result.seconds 2 >>> result.text u'1 min'
The result can also be used as a string:
>>> str(readtime.of_text('The shortest blog post in the world!')) u'1 min read'
