python-lds-scriptures's Introduction

Python LDS Scriptures

python-lds-scriptures parses LDS scripture URIs and formats them as human-readable strings.

Typical usage looks like this:

>>> import scriptures
>>> ref = scriptures.ref('/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/2.17')
>>> ref
ScriptureRef("/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/2.17")
>>> unicode(ref)
u'Mosiah 2:17'

Create references from their parts:

>>> scriptures.ScriptureRef(testament='dc-testament', book='dc', chapter=46, verse_ranges=[(11, 12), (15, 15)])
ScriptureRef("/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/46.11-12,15")

Sort references:

>>> sorted([scriptures.ref('/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/2.17'), scriptures.ref('/scriptures/ot/isa/48.10')])
[ScriptureRef("/scriptures/ot/isa/48.10"), ScriptureRef("/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/2.17")]

Merge references:

>>> scriptures.merged([scriptures.ref('/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/2.25'), scriptures.ref('/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/2.1-2')])
[ScriptureRef("/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/2.1-2,25")]

Manipulate references:

>>> ref = scriptures.ref('/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/2.25')
>>> ref.chapter = None
>>> ref.verse_ranges = None
>>> ref
ScriptureRef("/scriptures/bofm/2-ne")

Query references:

>>> scriptures.ref('/scriptures/ot/ruth').chapters()
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> scriptures.ref('/scriptures/nt/2-cor/12').verses()
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21]
>>> scriptures.ref('/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/46.11-12,15').verses()
[11, 12, 15]
