- ============
- Introduction
- ============
-
- This Library is mainly for those implementing a Terminal Emulator, or programs
- that carefully produce output to be interpreted by one.
-
- **Problem Statement**: When printed to the screen, the length of the string is
- usually equal to the number of cells it occupies. However, there are
- categories of characters that occupy 2 cells (full-wide), and others that
- occupy 0.
-
-
- **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.*
-
- This library aims to be forward-looking, portable, and most correct. The most
- current release of this API is based on the Unicode Standard release files:
-
- ``DerivedGeneralCategory-9.0.0.txt``
- *Date: 2016-06-01, 10:34:26 GMT*
- © 2016 Unicode®, Inc.
-
- ``EastAsianWidth-9.0.0.txt``
- *Date: 2016-05-27, 17:00:00 GMT [KW, LI]*

-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- The stable version of this package is maintained on pypi, install using pip::
-
- pip install wcwidth
-
- Example
- -------
-
- To Display ``u'コンニチハ'`` right-adjusted on screen of 80 columns::
-
- >>> from wcwidth import wcswidth
- >>> text = u'コンニチハ'
- >>> text_len = wcswidth(text)
- >>> print(u' ' * (80 - text_len) + text)
-
- wcwidth, wcswidth
- -----------------
- Use function ``wcwidth()`` to determine the length of a *single unicode
- character*, and ``wcswidth()`` to determine the length of a several, or 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.
-
- More documentation is available using pydoc::
-
- $ pydoc wcwidth
-
- =======
- Caveats
- =======
-
- This library attempts to determine the printable width by an unknown targeted
- terminal emulator. It does not provide any ability to discern what the target
- emulator software, version, of level of support is. Results may vary!
-
- A `crude method
- <http://blessed.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples.html#detect-multibyte-py>`_
- of determining the level of unicode support by the target emulator may be
- performed using the VT100 Query Cursor Position sequence.
-
- The libc version of `wcwidth(3)`_ is often several unicode releases behind,
- and therefor several levels of support lower than this python library. You
- may determine an exacting list of these discrepancies using the project
- file `wcwidth-libc-comparator.py
- <https://github.com/jquast/wcwidth/tree/master/bin/wcwidth-libc-comparator.py>`_.
-
-
- ==========
- Developing
- ==========
-
- Install wcwidth in editable mode::
-
- pip install -e.
-
- Install developer requirements::
-
- pip install -r requirements-develop.txt
-
- Execute unit tests using tox::
-
- tox
-
- Updating Tables
- ---------------
-
- The command ``python setup.py update`` will fetch the following resources:
-
- - http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/EastAsianWidth.txt
- - http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/extracted/DerivedGeneralCategory.txt
-
- And generates the table files:
-
- - `wcwidth/table_wide.py <https://github.com/jquast/wcwidth/tree/master/wcwidth/table_wide.py>`_
- - `wcwidth/table_zero.py <https://github.com/jquast/wcwidth/tree/master/wcwidth/table_zero.py>`_
-
- Uses
- ----
-
- This library is used in:
-
- - `jquast/blessed`_, a simplified wrapper around curses.
-
- - `jonathanslenders/python-prompt-toolkit`_, a Library for building powerful
- interactive command lines in Python.
-
- Additional tools for displaying and testing wcwidth are found in the `bin/
- <https://github.com/jquast/wcwidth/tree/master/bin>`_ folder of this project's
- source code. They are not distributed.
-
- =======
- History
- =======
-
- 0.1.7 *2016-07-01*
- * **Updated** tables to Unicode Specification 9.0.0. (`PR #18`_).
-
- 0.1.6 *2016-01-08 Production/Stable*
- * ``LICENSE`` file now included with distribution.
-
- 0.1.5 *2015-09-13 Alpha*
- * **Bugfix**:
- Resolution of "combining_ character width" issue, most especially
- those that previously returned -1 now often (correctly) return 0.
- resolved by `Philip Craig`_ via `PR #11`_.
- * **Deprecated**:
- The module path ``wcwidth.table_comb`` is no longer available,
- it has been superseded by module path ``wcwidth.table_zero``.
-
- 0.1.4 *2014-11-20 Pre-Alpha*
- * **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
- framework.
-
- 0.1.3 *2014-10-29 Pre-Alpha*
- * **Bugfix**: 2nd parameter of wcswidth was not honored.
- (`Thomas Ballinger`_, `PR #4`_).
-
- 0.1.2 *2014-10-28 Pre-Alpha*
- * **Updated** tables to Unicode Specification 7.0.0.
- (`Thomas Ballinger`_, `PR #3`_).
-
- 0.1.1 *2014-05-14 Pre-Alpha*
- * Initial release to pypi, Based on Unicode Specification 6.3.0
-
- This code was originally derived directly from C code of the same name,
- whose latest version is available at
