Installing

  pip install pyrunes

Usage

To rune

>>> from runes import to_rune
>>> print(to_rune('a'))
ᚠ

Without the print, it will return the rune unicode code.

>>> to_rune('a')
u'\u16a8'

From rune

>>> from runes import from_rune
>>> from_rune(u'ᚱ')
'r'

Exceptions

The default behavior is to raise an exception if the rune does not exist.

>>> to_rune("q")
 ...
 runes.exceptions.TransliterationDoesNotExist: The transliteration of "q" does not exist.

You can set the errors argument to 'ignore', so instead of raising a exception, it will return an empty string.

>>> to_rune("q", errors='ignore')
u''
