Utils for working with unicode strings

Summary¶

Functions:

`grapheme_len`	Number of graphemes in text
`ljust`	Left-justify text to a total of width
`rjust`	Right-justify text for a total of width graphemes

qalgebra.utils.unicode.grapheme_len(text)[source]¶

Number of graphemes in text

This is the length of the text when printed::

>>> s = 'Â'
>>> len(s)
2
>>> grapheme_len(s)
1

qalgebra.utils.unicode.ljust(text, width, fillchar=' ')[source]¶

Left-justify text to a total of width

The width is based on graphemes:

>>> s = 'Â'
>>> s.ljust(2)
'Â'
>>> ljust(s, 2)
'Â '

qalgebra.utils.unicode.rjust(text, width, fillchar=' ')[source]¶

Right-justify text for a total of width graphemes

The width is based on graphemes:

>>> s = 'Â'
>>> s.rjust(2)
'Â'
>>> rjust(s, 2)
' Â'
