ispunct

A small Python library for checking whether a character is a punctuation character.

Quick Start

```python from ispunct import ispunct

assert ispunct("?") assert not ispunct("a") assert ispunct("‽") ```

Using ispunct as a Library

This package is not published on PyPI, but you can use it from Git. For example, if using UV for dependency management, you could write:

shell $ uv add "ispunct @ git+https://github.com/jakewilliami/ispunct-py"

History

The origin of this project comes from an equivalent function to Julia's ispunct, which is itself derived from the C implementation for obtaining a Unicode character's category code. This is a more complete solution than checking against string.punctuation or curses.ascii.ispunct. There is also a StackOverflow question for this functionality which I have answered.

Notes on Internal Functionality

This library also implements (and uses internally) bitwise functions to calculate the number of leading/trailing zeros/ones in the bitwise representation of a Python integer. We also compute a Python integer that has the same bitpattern as a given character (i.e., simulating Julia's bitcast). These are required in order to determine a character's category code.
