num2words library - Convert numbers to words in multiple languages.. image::https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/num2words.svg:target:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/num2words.. image::https://travis-ci.org/savoirfairelinux/num2words.svg?branch=master:target:https://travis-ci.org/savoirfairelinux/num2words.. image::https://coveralls.io/repos/github/savoirfairelinux/num2words/badge.svg?branch=master:target:https://coveralls.io/github/savoirfairelinux/num2words?branch=masternum2wordsis a library that converts numbers like42to words likeforty-two.
It supports multiple languages (see the list below for full list
of languages) and can even generate ordinal numbers likeforty-second(although this last feature is a bit buggy for some languages at the moment).The project is hosted on GitHub_. Contributions are welcome... _GitHub:https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/num2wordsInstallationThe easiest way to installnum2wordsis to use pip::pip install num2wordsOtherwise, you can download the source package and then execute::python setup.py installThe test suite in this library is new, so it's rather thin, but it can be run with::python setup.py testTo run the full CI test suite which includes linting and multiple python environments::pip install tox

>>> num2words(42)
forty-two
>>> num2words(42, to='ordinal')
forty-second
>>> num2words(42, lang='fr')
quarante-deuxBesides the numerical argument, there are two main optional arguments,to:andlang:to:The converter to use. Supported values are:cardinal(default)ordinalordinal_numyearcurrencylang:The language in which to convert the number. Supported values are:en(English, default)am(Amharic)ar(Arabic)az(Azerbaijani)by(Belarusian)cz(Czech)de(German)dk(Danish)en_GB(English - Great Britain)en_IN(English - India)en_NG(English - Nigeria)es(Spanish)es_CO(Spanish - Colombia)es_VE(Spanish - Venezuela)es_GT(Spanish - Guatemala)eu(EURO)fa(Farsi)fi(Finnish)fr(French)fr_CH(French - Switzerland)fr_BE(French - Belgium)fr_DZ(French - Algeria)he(Hebrew)hu(Hungarian)id(Indonesian)is(Icelandic)it(Italian)ja(Japanese)kn(Kannada)ko(Korean)kz(Kazakh)lt(Lithuanian)lv(Latvian)no(Norwegian)pl(Polish)pt(Portuguese)pt_BR(Portuguese - Brazilian)sl(Slovene)sr(Serbian)sv(Swedish)ro(Romanian)ru(Russian)te(Telugu)tg(Tajik)tr(Turkish)th(Thai)vi(Vietnamese)nl(Dutch)uk(Ukrainian)You can supply values likefr_FR; if the country doesn't exist but the
language does, the code will fall back to the base language (i.e.fr). If
you supply an unsupported language,NotImplementedErroris raised.
Therefore, if you want to callnum2wordswith a fallback, you can do::try:
    return num2words(42, lang=mylang)
except NotImplementedError:
    return num2words(42, lang='en')Additionally, some converters and languages support other optional arguments
that are needed to make the converter useful in practice.WikiFor additional information on some localization please check the Wiki_.
And feel free to propose wiki enhancement... _Wiki:https://github.com/savoirfairelinux/num2words/wikiHistorynum2wordsis based on an old library,pynum2word, created by Taro Ogawa
in 2003. Unfortunately, the library stopped being maintained and the author
can't be reached. There was another developer, Marius Grigaitis, who in 2011
added Lithuanian support, but didn't take over maintenance of the project.I am thus basing myself on Marius Grigaitis' improvements and re-publishingpynum2wordasnum2words.Virgil Dupras, Savoir-faire LinuxChangelogVersion 0.5.13 -- 2023/10/18Fix a problem in Brazilian Portuguese code referred to thousands when the hundreds are exact.
