acceptlang

Simple package for parsing Accept-Language tag.

This package can be used in the server environment to parse the Accept-Language header.

Test cases and code copied from Django source code enhanced with typing.

Purpose of this code is to be able to use a battle-tested Accept-Language parsing logic in Python code without need to install Django package.

Installation

You can install the package via pip:

pip install acceptlang

Usage

from acceptlang import parse_accept_lang_header

result = parse_accept_lang_header("en-us,en;q=0.5,de;q=0.3")
assert result == (('en-us', 1.0), ('en',0.5), ('de',0.3))

result = parse_accept_lang_header("en-us,*;q=0.5")
assert result == (('en-us', 1.0), ('*',0.5))
