Python Internet String Preparation
To identify different things in the internet, it is necessary to compare different identification for equality. The comparison procedure depends on the application domain. For an example, some things are case-insensitive etc. To check these kind of information stringprep is used.
The RFC 3454 defines the procedure to prepare the Unicode strings before transmitting through the wire. After going through the preparation procedure, they have a certain normalized form.
The RFC defines a set of tables; these tables can be combined into profiles. For an example there is a profile of stringprep is nameprep. In the nameprep, there are internationalized domain names
There are two kinds of tables, the set and the mappings. If one character is present in the set table, it will return true, otherwise false. For mapping tables, when the key is passed, it will return the associated value.
To use this modules, we need to import the stringprep module in our code.
import stringprep
The stringprep tables are −
| Sr.No. | Tables & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | stringprep.in_table_a1(code) It is unsigned code points in Unicode 3.2 |
| 2 | stringprep.in_table_b1(code) It is commonly mapped to nothing. |
| 3 | stringprep.in_table_b2(code) Return mapped value for code to table B.2. Mapping for NFKC case-folding. |
| 4 | stringprep.in_table_b3(code) Mapping case-folding with no normalization. |
| 5 | stringprep.in_table_c11(code) ASCII space characters |
| 6 | stringprep.in_table_c12(code) Non-ASCII Space characters |
| 7 | stringprep.in_table_c11_c12(code) Combination of ASCII and non-ASCII Space characters |
| 8 |
stringprep.in_table_c21(code) ASCII control characters |
| 9 | stringprep.in_table_c22(code) Non-ASCII control characters |
| 10 | stringprep.in_table_c21_c22(code) Combination of ASCII and non-ASCII control characters |
| 11 | stringprep.in_table_c3(code) Characters for private use |
| 12 | stringprep.in_table_c4(code) Non-character code points |
| 13 | stringprep.in_table_c5(code) Surrogate Codes |
| 14 | stringprep.in_table_c6(code) Inappropriate for the plain text characters |
| 15 | stringprep.in_table_c7(code) Inappropriate for canonical representation |
| 16 |
stringprep.in_table_c8(code) Display property change codes |
| 17 | stringprep.in_table_c9(code) Tagging characters |
| 18 | stringprep.in_table_d1(code) Characters, which have ‘R’ and ‘AL’ bidirectional property. |
| 19 |
stringprep.in_table_d2(code) Characters, which have ‘L’ bidirectional property. |
Example Code
import stringprep as sp
print('\u0020') #The space character
print(sp.in_table_c11('\u0020')) #It is inside the ASCII space characters
print(sp.in_table_d2('L')) #Letter L has bidirectional property from left to right
print(sp.in_table_d1('L')) #Letter L has no bidirectional property for right to left
Output
True True False
