## Description

[Kanji Networks](http://www.kanjinetworks.com) was a website offering etymologies for kanjis. The website was closed end of August 2016, but the database was made available as a PDF.

kanjinetworks is an interface for extracting, parsing and exporting the etymologies from the PDF file in python.

The package also include the `kn_to_ja.py` script to import the Kanji Networks etymologies into a [iOS Japanese App](https://japaneseapp.com/) backup files as notes. Warning: existing notes might be lost as this script replaces them.

## Requirements

kanjinetworks is compatible with Python versions 2 and depends on PDF miner.

## Install

To install kanjinetworks, run pip:

pip install kanjinetworks

or clone this directory and run setup:

python setup.py install

## Usage

To import etymologies into a Japanese App backup files:

kn_to_ja.py PATH_TO_JAPANESE_BACKUP_FILE

To use the parser:

from kanjinetworks import get_text
from kanjinetworks import KanjiNetworksParser

text = get_text()

kanjis = KanjiNetworksParser().parse(text)
for kanji in kanjis:
print unicode(kanji)
