tangled-up-in-unicode
Readme
This module provides access to character properties for all Unicode characters, from the Unicode Character Database (UCD) .
This module provides an alternative to Python's standard library unicodedata.
Tangled up in Unicode provides four main benefits compared to the standard library:
Note that Python 3 added unicode support, but that this is different from the UCD. Unicode support handles storing and manipulating unicode characters, while this package aims to provide properties of specific characters.
