Core library and LGR data structure used to manipulate an LGR.

This version conforms to the specification RFC7940.

This toolset was implemented by Viagenie (Audric Schiltknecht, Julien Bernard, David Drouin, Guillaume Blanchet and Marc Blanchet) and Wil Tan on an ICANN contract.

If your distribution does not package the required dependencies, the easiest way to get a working environment in no-time is to use Python's virtual environments.

• Install virtualenv

• Create a python virtualenv:

    $ virtualenv venv
  

• Activate the environment:

    $ source ./venv/bin/activate
  

• Download dependencies:

    (venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
  

The tools directory contains some tools to exercise the library.

• xml_dump.py parses an XML LGR file, creates the LGR structure, and convert it back to XML.
• make_idna_repertoire.py generates the IDNA2008 starting repertoire, by parsing the IDNA2008 table registry available on IANA website, and collecting all PVALID, CONTEXTO and CONTEXTJ characters.
• lgr_cli.py parsed an XML LGR file, and validate it against configured MSR and Unicode version.
• rfcXXXX_dump.py parses inputs in RFC XXXX format, and generate an XML LGR.
• one_per_line_dump.py parses input in the "one per line" format, and generate an XML LGR.
• rfc7940_validate.py takes an LGR and checks it for compliance with RFC 7940.

Other tools are available to manipulate LGR files and labels:

• lgr_annotate.py takes an LGR and a list of labels and output the list of labels with their respective disposition.
• lgr_collision.py takes an LGR and a list of labels and check for collision(s) between the labels/variants.
• lgr_compare.py is used to compare 2 LGR (output textual diff, merge, intersection).
• lgr_diff_collision.py takes 2 LGR and one set of labels, and test for collisions between labels and generated variants from the 2 LGR.
• lgr_merge_set.py takes some LGRs and create a merged LGR from the provided set.
• lgr_check_harmonized checks that variants code points from a list of LGRs are symmetric and transitive in each LGR, and list missing variants from one LGR to another.
• lgr_cross_script_variants takes some LGRs and generate the list of cross-script variants.
• lgr_idn_table_review.py reviews IDN tables against reference LGRs.

Tests and coverage report can be run as follows:

(venv) $ pip install pytest pytest-cov
(venv) $ ./runtests.sh

Open htmlcov/index.html in a web browser for the coverage report.

To generate the documentation, go to the doc directory and run the following command:

(venv) $ make html

The generated documentation is available in doc/_build/html/index.html.
