Metre Identification

from chandas import identify
pattern_lines = identify.to_pattern_lines("निर्दिष्टाङ् कुलपतिना स पर्णशालाम् अध्यास्य प्रयतपरिग्रहद्वितीयः ।\nतच्छिष्याध्ययननिवेदितावसानां सव्ँविष्टः कुशशयने निशान् निनाय ॥".split("\n"))
id_result = identify.identifier.IdentifyFromPatternLines(pattern_lines)
assert id_result['exact'] == "Praharṣiṇī"

Syllabization

from chandas import syllabize
syllabize.get_syllables(u"ॐ मणि पद्मे ऽहम्") == "ओम् म णि पद् मे हम्"
syllabize.get_graphemes(u"बिक्रममेरोनामहो") == "बि क् र म मे रो ना म हो".split(" ")
