Emoji

Emoji for Python. This project was inspired by kyokomi.

Example

The entire set of Emoji codes as defined by the Unicode consortium is supported in addition to a bunch of aliases. By default, only the official list is enabled but doing emoji.emojize(language='alias') enables both the full list and aliases.

>>> import emoji
>>> print(emoji.emojize('Python is :thumbs_up:'))
Python is 👍
>>> print(emoji.emojize('Python is :thumbsup:', language='alias'))
Python is 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize('Python is 👍'))
Python is :thumbs_up:
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python is fun :red_heart:"))
Python is fun ❤
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python is fun :red_heart:", variant="emoji_type"))
Python is fun ❤️ #red heart, not black heart
>>> print(emoji.is_emoji("👍"))
True

By default, the language is English (language='en') but also supported languages are:

Spanish ('es')
Portuguese ('pt')
Italian ('it')
French ('fr')
German ('de')
Farsi/Persian ('fa')
Indonesian ('id')
Simplified Chinese ('zh')
Japanese ('ja')
Korean ('ko')

>>> print(emoji.emojize('Python es :pulgar_hacia_arriba:', language='es'))
Python es 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize('Python es 👍', language='es'))
Python es :pulgar_hacia_arriba:
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python é :polegar_para_cima:", language='pt'))
Python é 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize("Python é 👍", language='pt'))
Python é :polegar_para_cima:️

The utils/get_codes_from_unicode_emoji_data_files.py is used to generate unicode_codes/data_dict.py. Generally speaking it scrapes a table on the Unicode Consortium's website with BeautifulSoup and prints the contents to stdout as a Python dictionary. For more information take a look in the utils/README.md file.
