python-chordpro

python-chordpro is a ChordPro parser, written in Python. The main difference between this module and other similar libraries is that python-chordpro parses ChordPro files down to the syllable level, enabling finer-grained control of the formatted output.

Warning

This package is still in development. Only a subset of ChordPro is currently supported, and some key features are missing, like displaying song metadata.

Installation

You can use pip to install python-chordpro:

$ pip install python-chordpro

Example Usage

from chordpro import Song

song = Song('path/to/song.chordpro')

for verse in song.verses:
    print(verse.title)

Rendering

python-chordpro comes with two renders, HTML and Text.

from chordpro.renderers.html import render

print(render(song))

Command Line Interface

python-chordpro also ships with a built-in command line interface which will read a ChordPro file and then render it using either the text or HTML renderer.

For example:

$ python-chordpro path/to/song.chordpro -f text -o song.txt
