flag
Flag emoji for Python.
Converts flag emoji to ASCII and other way round.
This is based on http://schinckel.net/2015/10/29/unicode-flags-in-python/ by schinckel
How it works
All the flag emoji are actually composed of two unicode letters. These are the 26 regional indicator symbols.
Alone they look like this:
🇦 🇧 🇨 🇩 🇪 🇫 🇬 🇭 🇮 🇯 🇰 🇱 🇲 🇳 🇴 🇵 🇶 🇷 🇸 🇹 🇺 🇻 🇼 🇽 🇾 🇿
If you pair them up according to ISO 3166 some browsers and phones will display a flag.
For example TW is Taiwan: 🇹 + 🇼 = 🇹🇼
So, to encode an ASCII code like :TW: to 🇹🇼, we just need to convert the ASCII T and W to the corresponding regional indicator symbols 🇹 and 🇼.
To reverse it, we translate the regional indicator symbols back to ASCII letters.
Example
>>> import flag
>>> flag.flag("IL")
'🇮🇱'
>>> flag.flag("GBENG")
'🏴'
>>> flag.flagize("Flag of Israel :IL:")
'Flag of Israel 🇮🇱'
>>> flag.dflagize("Flag of Israel 🇮🇱")
'Flag of Israel :IL:'
>>> flag.flagize("England :gb-eng: is part of the UK :GB:", subregions=True)
'England 🏴 is part of the UK 🇬🇧'
>>> flag.dflagize("England 🏴 is part of the UK 🇬🇧", subregions=True)
'England :gb-eng: is part of the UK :GB:'
>>> my_flags = flag.Flag(only_supported=True, allow_subregions=True)
>>> my_flags.flagize("Convert actual flags like :US: but not unsupported ones like :XX:")
'Convert actual flags like 🇺🇸 but not unsupported ones like :XX:'
