CHAPTER 1
Installation
The package is distributed on PyPI and can be installed with pip:
pip install python-myanmar
For more information, please read the full documentation here.
1.1 Installation
1.1.1 Stable release
To install Python Myanmar, run this command in your terminal:
$ pip install python-myanmar
This is the preferred method to install Python Myanmar, as it will always install the most recent stable release.
If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
1.1.2 From sources
The sources for Python Myanmar can be downloaded from the Github repo.
You can either clone the public repository:
$ git clone git://[Link]/trhura/python-myanmar
Or download the tarball:
$ curl -OL [Link]
Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
3
Python Myanmar Documentation, Release 1.9.0
$ python [Link] install
1.2 Syllabification
Morphological and phonetic syllable break for Burmese text. Syllable break with zawgyi text will not be accurate /
reliable. You probably should convert it to unicode before processing.
[Link](text, encoding)
Return an iterable of morphological / visual syllables in text.
>>> from [Link] import UnicodeEncoding
>>> slb = list(MorphoSyllableBreak("", UnicodeEncoding()))
>>> list(s['syllable'] for s in slb)
['', '', '']
>>> slb[2]
{'syllable': '', 'consonant': '', 'eVowel': '', 'visarga': ''}
[Link](text, encoding)
Return an iterable of phonemic syllables in text.
>>> from [Link] import UnicodeEncoding
>>> slb = list(PhonemicSyllableBreak("", UnicodeEncoding()))
>>> list(s['syllable'] for s in slb)
['', '', '']
>>> slb[0]
{'syllable': '', 'consonant': '', 'iVowel': '', 'visarga': ''}
1.3 Encodings
Convert text in various Myanmar encodings. It currently supports wininnwa, zawgyi, unicode. Perfomance-wise, it
is not as good as other regex-based converters.
[Link](text, fromenc, toenc)
Convert text in fromenc encoding to toenc encoding.
>>> convert('', 'unicode', 'zawgyi')
''
>>> convert('', 'zawgyi', 'unicode')
''
>>> convert('&[ef;', 'wininnwa', 'unicode')
''
[Link].get_supported_encodings()
Get a list of encodings supported by converter module.
>>> get_supported_encodings()
['unicode', 'zawgyi', 'wininnwa']

1.4 Transliteration
Transliterate Burmese text with latin characters. Currently, romanization based on BGN_PCGN, MLCTS, IPA systems
are available.
[Link](string, system)
Transliterate Burmese text with latin letters.
>>> romanize("", IPA)
'kpjùtà'
>>> romanize("", MLC)
'padezaraja'
>>> romanize("", BGN_PCGN)
'bin-gala-aw'
1.5 Phonenumbers
Validation and normalization for Myanmar phonenumbers. Based on mm_phonenumber module from Melomap.
class [Link]
An enumeration.
[Link].get_landline_operator(phonenumber)
Get operator type for a given landline number.
>>> get_landline_operator('+95674601234')
'MyanmarAPN'
>>> get_landline_operator('9524261234')
'MyanmarSpeedNet'
>>> get_landline_operator('14681234')
'VoIPMyanmarGroup'
[Link].get_phone_operator(phonenumber)
Get operator type for a given phonenumber.
>>> get_phone_operator('+959262624625')
<[Link]: 'MPT'>
>>> get_phone_operator('09970000234')
<[Link]: 'Ooredoo'>
>>> get_phone_operator('123456789')
<[Link]: 'Unknown'>
[Link].is_valid_phonenumber(phonenumber)
Checks whether a given phonenumber is a valid Myanmar number or not.
>>> is_valid_phonenumber('09420028187')
True
>>> is_valid_phonenumber('+959420028187')
True
>>> is_valid_phonenumber(9420028187)
False
>>> is_valid_phonenumber(94200281870)
False
[Link].normalize_phonenumber(phonenumber)
Normalize a given phonenumber into 959xxx number format.
1.4. Transliteration 5
Python Myanmar Documentation, Release 1.9.0
>>> normalize_phonenumber('09420028187')
959420028187
>>> normalize_phonenumber('+959420028187')
959420028187
>>> normalize_phonenumber('420028187')
959420028187
1.6 Myanmar NRC
Validation and normalization for Myanmar NRC number.
[Link].is_valid_nrc(nrc)
Check whether the given string is valid Myanmar national registration ID or not
>>> is_valid_nrc('12/LMN (N) 144144')
True
>>> is_valid_nrc('5/PMN (N) 123456')
False
[Link].normalize_nrc(nrc)
Check the given string is valid myanmar nrc or not and normalize the string to simplest form if the string is valid
>>> normalize_nrc('9/pmn(n)123456')
'9 pamana n 123456'
>>> normalize_nrc('1/bkn(n)123456')
'1 bakana n 123456'
