Taiiwo's Cicada Library

This library contains a selection of tools for performing high level operations on the LiberPrimus

Example usage:

from cicada import LiberPrimus
from cicada.gematria import Latin, Runes

# load the lp from file
lp = LiberPrimus()

shift = 0
# for pages 0 - 3 of the lp
for page in lp.pages[0:3]:
    # page is a Runes() object so we can do some cool things:
    # atbash substitution
    page.atbash()
    # caesar shift
    page.shift(shift)
    # use .text to get the contents of a Gematria() object such as Runes()
    # Note: it will also convert to str with str(Runes()) or equiv
    print("Runes: %s" % page.text)
    print("Plaintext: %s" % page.to_latin())
    # example of automated shifting
    shift += 1

print(Runes("ᚠᚢᚦᚩᚱᚳᚷᚹᚻᚾᛁᛄᛇᛈᛉᛋᛏᛒᛖᛗᛚᛝᛟᛞᚪᚫᚣᛡᛠ").to_latin())
# FUTHORKGWHNIJEOPXZTBEMLINGOEDAAEYIAEA
print(Latin("Hello World!").to_runes())
# ᚻᛖᛚᛚᚩ ᚹᚩᚱᛚᛞ!
print(Latin("How would cicada type question everything?").to_runes().to_latin())
# HOW WOULD CICADA TYPE CWESTION EUERYTHING?

Property: pages

Returns an array of LiberPrimus() objects containing each page

Property: lines

Returns an array of LiberPrimus() objects containing each line

Property: chapters

Returns an array of LiberPrimus() objects containing each chapter

Property: segments

Returns an array of LiberPrimus() objects containing each segment

Property: paragraphs

Property: clauses

Returns an array of LiberPrimus() objects containing each clause

Property: words

Returns an array of LiberPrimus() objects containing each word

Property: runes

Returns a Runes() object of the contents

Gematria()

A base class for translating and manipulating the runes

Cipher()

A base class for manipulating text given an alphabet

Method: sub(abc, cba)

Runs a substitution cipher where abc is the plain alphabet, and cba is the desired alphabet.

Method: shift(n)

Method gematria_sum_lines()

returns list of integer sums of prime values for each line

Method: to_runes()

Converts text contents to runes

Method: to_latin()

Converts text contents to latin

Method: to_numbers()

Converts text contents to gematria values
