IRI Baker

Simple library for baking RFC3987 compliant IRIs from IRI-like strings.

Installation

Simply do pip3 install iribaker

Or, download this package and run python setup.py install

Usage

• Import the package (import iribaker)
• Call iribaker.to_iri(string) with the string you want to check (utf-8 and unicode supported)
• For example: iri = iribaker.to_iri('http://example.com/€eéf')
• The function returns:
  • The same (unicode) string, if it is a valid IRI
  • A string where each invalid character is replaced with an underscore (_). This means no roundtripping!
  • A quoted version of the string (using the standard urllib.parse.quote)

E.g. in Python Pandas you could create IRI's for a column with places and have schema:name's for them:

g.add((URIRef(iribaker.to_iri('https://example.com/'+str(row['places']))), SDO.name, Literal(str(row['places']), datatype=XSD.string)))
