Emoji

Emoji for Python. This project was inspired by kyokomi.

Example

The entire set of Emoji codes as defined by the unicode consortium is supported in addition to a bunch of aliases. By default, only the official list is enabled but doing emoji.emojize(use_aliases=True) enables both the full list and aliases.

>> import emoji
>> print(emoji.emojize('Python is :thumbs_up:'))
Python is 👍
>> print(emoji.emojize('Python is :thumbsup:', use_aliases=True))
Python is 👍
>> print(emoji.demojize('Python is 👍'))
Python is :thumbs_up:
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python is fun :red_heart:"))
Python is fun ❤
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python is fun :red_heart:",variant="emoji_type"))
Python is fun ❤️ #red heart, not black heart
>>> print(emoji.is_emoji("👍"))
True

By default, the language is English (language='en') but also supported languages are:

Spanish ('es'), Portuguese ('pt'), Italian ('it'), French ('fr'), German ('de')

>> print(emoji.emojize('Python es :pulgar_hacia_arriba:', language='es'))
Python es 👍
>> print(emoji.demojize('Python es 👍', language='es'))
Python es :pulgar_hacia_arriba:
>>> print(emoji.emojize("Python é :polegar_para_cima:", language='pt'))
Python é 👍
>>> print(emoji.demojize("Python é 👍", language='pt'))
Python é :polegar_para_cima:️

The utils/get-codes-from-unicode-consortium.py may help when updating unicode_codes.py but is not guaranteed to work. Generally speaking it scrapes a table on the Unicode Consortium's website with BeautifulSoup and prints the contents to stdout in a more useful format.
