Let computers do the hard work for you! iambic provides:
- The most accurate method for counting lines automatically.
- Automatically track which characters are speaking in any scene.
- Deterministic, repeatable results, with the ability to store your data as JSON with strictly defined schema for passing over the wire or storing locally or in a NoSQL database between runtimes.
In order to install the latest version, simply pip3 install -U iambic.
This library requires Python 3.7 or greater.
iambic was originally envisioned as a tool for translating
Shakespearean text into actionable information, i.e.:
- How many lines are in this particular play?
- How many lines does a given character speak in this play?
- Which characters speak, in which scenes and acts?
As a result of the implementation, this tool can be applied to any body of text which adhere's to its parsing syntax.
The full schema specification has been written in JSON Schema 7.0 and can be found here
