Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This library is mainly for CLI programs that carefully produce output for
|
|
Terminals, or make pretend to be an emulator.
|
|
|
|
**Problem Statement**: The printable length of *most* strings are equal to the
|
|
number of cells they occupy on the screen ``1 charater : 1 cell``. However,
|
|
there are categories of characters that *occupy 2 cells* (full-wide), and
|
|
others that *occupy 0* cells (zero-width).
|
|
|
|
**Solution**: POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 conforming systems provide
|
|
`wcwidth(3)`_ and `wcswidth(3)`_ C functions of which this python module's
|
|
functions precisely copy. *These functions return the number of cells a
|
|
unicode string is expected to occupy.*
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The stable version of this package is maintained on pypi, install using pip::
|
|
|
|
pip install wcwidth
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
**Problem**: given the following phrase (Japanese),
|
|
|
|
>>> text = u'コンニチハ'
|
|
|
|
Python **incorrectly** uses the *string length* of 5 codepoints rather than the
|
|
*printible length* of 10 cells, so that when using the `rjust` function, the
|
|
output length is wrong::
|
|
|
|
>>> print(len('コンニチハ'))
|
|
5
|
|
|
|
>>> print('コンニチハ'.rjust(20, '_'))
|
|
_____コンニチハ
|
|
|
|
By defining our own "rjust" function that uses wcwidth, we can correct this::
|
|
|
|
>>> def wc_rjust(text, length, padding=' '):
|
|
... from wcwidth import wcswidth
|
|
... return padding * max(0, (length - wcswidth(text))) + text
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
Our **Solution** uses wcswidth to determine the string length correctly::
|
|
|
|
>>> from wcwidth import wcswidth
|
|
>>> print(wcswidth('コンニチハ'))
|
|
10
|
|
|
|
>>> print(wc_rjust('コンニチハ', 20, '_'))
|
|
__________コンニチハ
|
|
|
|
|
|
Choosing a Version
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Export an environment variable, ``UNICODE_VERSION``. This should be done by
|
|
*terminal emulators* or those developers experimenting with authoring one of
|
|
their own, from shell::
|
|
|
|
$ export UNICODE_VERSION=13.0
|
|
|
|
If unspecified, the latest version is used. If your Terminal Emulator does not
|
|
export this variable, you can use the `jquast/ucs-detect`_ utility to
|
|
automatically detect and export it to your shell.
|
|
|
|
wcwidth, wcswidth
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Use function ``wcwidth()`` to determine the length of a *single unicode
|
|
character*, and ``wcswidth()`` to determine the length of many, a *string
|
|
of unicode characters*.
|
|
|
|
Briefly, return values of function ``wcwidth()`` are:
|
|
|
|
``-1``
|
|
Indeterminate (not printable).
|
|
|
|
``0``
|
|
Does not advance the cursor, such as NULL or Combining.
|
|
|
|
``2``
|
|
Characters of category East Asian Wide (W) or East Asian
|
|
Full-width (F) which are displayed using two terminal cells.
|
|
|
|
``1``
|
|
All others.
|
|
|
|
Function ``wcswidth()`` simply returns the sum of all values for each character
|
|
along a string, or ``-1`` when it occurs anywhere along a string.

==========
|
|
Developing
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Install wcwidth in editable mode::
|
|
|
|
pip install -e.
|
|
|
|
Execute unit tests using tox_::
|
|
|
|
tox
|
|
|
|
Regenerate python code tables from latest Unicode Specification data files::
|
|
|
|
tox -eupdate
|
|
|
|
Supplementary tools for browsing and testing terminals for wide unicode
|
|
characters are found in the `bin/`_ of this project's source code. Just ensure
|
|
to first ``pip install -erequirements-develop.txt`` from this projects main
|
|
folder. For example, an interactive browser for testing::
|
|
|
|
./bin/wcwidth-browser.py
|
|

History
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
0.2.0 *2020-06-01*
|
|
* **Enhancement**: Unicode version may be selected by exporting the
|
|
Environment variable ``UNICODE_VERSION``, such as ``13.0``, or ``6.3.0``.
|
|
See the `jquast/ucs-detect`_ CLI utility for automatic detection.
|
|
* **Enhancement**:
|
|
API Documentation is published to readthedocs.org.
|
|
* **Updated** tables for *all* Unicode Specifications with files
|
|
published in a programmatically consumable format, versions 4.1.0
|

|
that are published
|
|
, versions
|

|
|
0.1.9 *2020-03-22*
