============
Introduction
============
This library is mainly for CLI programs that carefully produce output for
Terminals, or make pretend to be an emulator.
**Problem Statement**: The printable length of *most* strings are equal to the
number of cells they occupy on the screen ``1 character : 1 cell``. However,
there are categories of characters that *occupy 2 cells* (full-wide), and
others that *occupy 0* cells (zero-width).
**Solution**: POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 conforming systems provide
`wcwidth(3)`_ and `wcswidth(3)`_ C functions of which this python module's
functions precisely copy. *These functions return the number of cells a
unicode string is expected to occupy.*
Installation
------------
The stable version of this package is maintained on pypi, install using pip::
pip install wcwidth
Example
-------
**Problem**: given the following phrase (Japanese),
>>> text = u'コンニチハ'
Python **incorrectly** uses the *string length* of 5 codepoints rather than the
*printible length* of 10 cells, so that when using the `rjust` function, the
output length is wrong::
>>> print(len('コンニチハ'))
5
>>> print('コンニチハ'.rjust(20, '_'))
_______________コンニチハ
By defining our own "rjust" function that uses wcwidth, we can correct this::
>>> def wc_rjust(text, length, padding=' '):
... from wcwidth import wcswidth
... return padding * max(0, (length - wcswidth(text))) + text
...
Our **Solution** uses wcswidth to determine the string length correctly::
>>> from wcwidth import wcswidth
>>> print(wcswidth('コンニチハ'))
10
>>> print(wc_rjust('コンニチハ', 20, '_'))
__________コンニチハ
Choosing a Version
------------------
Export an environment variable, ``UNICODE_VERSION``. This should be done by
*terminal emulators* or those developers experimenting with authoring one of
their own, from shell::
$ export UNICODE_VERSION=13.0
If unspecified, the latest version is used. If your Terminal Emulator does not
export this variable, you can use the `jquast/ucs-detect`_ utility to
automatically detect and export it to your shell.
wcwidth, wcswidth
-----------------
Use function ``wcwidth()`` to determine the length of a *single unicode
character*, and ``wcswidth()`` to determine the length of many, a *string
of unicode characters*.
Briefly, return values of function ``wcwidth()`` are:
``-1``
Indeterminate (not printable).
``0``
Does not advance the cursor, such as NULL or Combining.
``2``
Characters of category East Asian Wide (W) or East Asian
Full-width (F) which are displayed using two terminal cells.
``1``
All others.
Function ``wcswidth()`` simply returns the sum of all values for each character
along a string, or ``-1`` when it occurs anywhere along a string.

==========
Developing
==========
Install wcwidth in editable mode::
pip install -e.
Execute unit tests using tox_::
tox
Regenerate python code tables from latest Unicode Specification data files::
tox -e update
Supplementary tools for browsing and testing terminals for wide unicode
characters are found in the `bin/`_ of this project's source code. Just ensure
to first ``pip install -erequirements-develop.txt`` from this projects main
folder. For example, an interactive browser for testing::
python ./bin/wcwidth-browser.py
Uses
----
This library is used in:
- `jquast/blessed`_: a thin, practical wrapper around terminal capabilities in
Python.
- `jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit`_: a Library for building powerful
interactive command lines in Python.
- `dbcli/pgcli`_: Postgres CLI with autocompletion and syntax highlighting.
- `thomasballinger/curtsies`_: a Curses-like terminal wrapper with a display
based on compositing 2d arrays of text.
- `selectel/pyte`_: Simple VTXXX-compatible linux terminal emulator.
- `astanin/python-tabulate`_: Pretty-print tabular data in Python, a library
and a command-line utility.
- `LuminosoInsight/python-ftfy`_: Fixes mojibake and other glitches in Unicode
text.

History
-------
0.2.6 *2023-01-14*
* **Updated** tables to include Unicode Specification 14.0.0 and 15.0.0.
* **Changed** developer tools to use pip-compile, and to use jinja2 templates
for code generation in `bin/update-tables.py` to prepare for possible
compiler optimization release.
0.2.1 .. 0.2.5 *2020-06-23*
* **Repository** changes to update tests and packaging issues, and
begin tagging repository with matching release versions.
0.2.0 *2020-06-01*
* **Enhancement**: Unicode version may be selected by exporting the
Environment variable ``UNICODE_VERSION``, such as ``13.0``, or ``6.3.0``.
See the `jquast/ucs-detect`_ CLI utility for automatic detection.
* **Enhancement**:
API Documentation is published to readthedocs.org.
* **Updated** tables for *all* Unicode Specifications with files

through 13.0

* **Performance** optimization by `Avram Lubkin`_, `PR #35`_.
* **Updated** tables to Unicode Specification 13.0.0.
0.1.8 *2020-01-01*
* **Updated** tables to Unicode Specification 12.0.0. (`PR #30`_).
0.1.7 *2016-07-01*

Resolution of "combining_ character width" issue, most especially
those that previously returned -1 now often (correctly) return 0.

* **Feature**: ``wcswidth()`` now determines printable length
for (most) combining_ characters. The developer's tool
`bin/wcwidth-browser.py`_ is improved to display combining_
characters when provided the ``--combining`` option
(`Thomas Ballinger`_ and `Leta Montopoli`_ `PR #5`_).
* **Feature**: added static analysis (prospector_) to testing
