Python library for Rich Text Format with Court Reporting Extensions (RTF/CRE) dictionaries
Project description
rtfcre
rtfcre
is a Python library for reading and writing steno dictionaries in the
RTF/CRE
(Rich Text Format with Court Reporting Extensions) format. The library provides
an API similar to that of the json
module for reading and writing dictionaries.
rtfcre
also comes with a little command-line utility that you can use to
convert your dictionaries between Plover's native JSON format and RTF. See
CLI for more information.
Features
-
Speed: The parsing logic is written in Rust using parser combinators, making it much faster than practically any pure-Python implementation.
-
Comments: Rather than just exposing translations,
rtfcre
also reads the comments embedded in each entry ({\*\cxcomment like this}
). -
Unicode: Full Unicode support -- while the dictionary files are not encoded in UTF-8, Unicode characters in translations are still fully supported. Translations can be in any language and they will seamlessly be converted to escapes when writing.
-
Plover support: Translations are converted automatically to Plover's native syntax (e.g. fingerspelling is represented with
{&a}
rather than{\cxfing a}
) and converted back when writing.
Installation
To install the library:
pip install rtfcre
If you just want to use this with Plover, install the plover-better-rtf plugin instead, since that plugin uses this library under the hood.
If you want the command-line utility, go to the Releases page and download the binary for your system.
Usage
Library
To read an RTF dictionary:
import rtfcre
# Reading directly from a file (make sure to open binary)
with open("dict.rtf", "rb") as file:
dic = rtfcre.load(file)
# Reading from a string
rtf = r"""
{\rtf1\ansi{\*\cxrev100}\cxdict{\*\cxsystem KittyCAT}
{\*\cxs KAT}cat
{\*\cxs KOU}cow
}
""".lstrip()
dic = rtfcre.loads(rtf)
To write the RTF dictionary:
# Writing to a file (make sure to open binary)
with open("dict.rtf", "wb") as file:
dic.dump(file)
# Writing to a string
rtf = dic.dumps()
The dictionary object itself also supports the standard dict
API:
dic["KAT"] = "cat"
"KAT" in dic # True
dic["KAT"] # "cat"
del dic["KAT"]
dic["TKOG"] # KeyError
dic["TKOG"] = "dog"
dic["TKOG"] # "dog"
as well as a reverse lookup API for mapping from translations to steno strokes:
dic.reverse_lookup("cat") # ["KAT"]
To access comments:
dic.lookup("TKOG") # ("dog", None)
dic.add_comment("TKOG", "TK means D")
dic.lookup("TKOG") # ("dog", "TK means D")
dic.remove_comment("TKOG")
CLI
To convert an existing Plover JSON dictionary to RTF:
rtfcre path/to/input.json path/to/output.rtf
To convert an existing RTF dictionary back to Plover JSON:
rtfcre path/to/input.rtf path/to/output.json
