Anitopy

Anitopy is a Python library for parsing anime video filenames. It's simple to use and it's based on the C++ library Anitomy.

Example

The following filename...

[TaigaSubs]_Toradora!_(2008)_-_01v2_-_Tiger_and_Dragon_[1280x720_H.264_FLAC][1234ABCD].mkv

...can be parsed using the following code:

>>> import anitopy
>>> anitopy.parse('[TaigaSubs]_Toradora!_(2008)_-_01v2_-_Tiger_and_Dragon_[1280x720_H.264_FLAC][1234ABCD].mkv')
{
    'anime_title': 'Toradora!',
    'anime_year': '2008',
    'audio_term': 'FLAC',
    'episode_number': '01',
    'episode_title': 'Tiger and Dragon',
    'file_checksum': '1234ABCD',
    'file_extension': 'mkv',
    'file_name': '[TaigaSubs]_Toradora!_(2008)_-_01v2_-_Tiger_and_Dragon_[1280x720_H.264_FLAC][1234ABCD].mkv',
    'release_group': 'TaigaSubs',
    'release_version': '2',
    'video_resolution': '1280x720',
    'video_term': 'H.264'
}

The parse function receives a string and returns a dictionary containing all found elements. It can also receive parsing options, this will be explained below.

Installation

To install Anitopy, simply use pip:

pip install anitopy

Or download the source code and inside the source code's folder run:

python setup.py install

Options

The parse function can receive the options parameter. E.g.:

>>> import anitopy
>>> anitopy_options = {'allowed_delimiters': ' '}
>>> anitopy.parse('DRAMAtical Murder Episode 1 - Data_01_Login', options=anitopy_options)
{
    'anime_title': 'DRAMAtical Murder',
    'episode_number': '1',
    'episode_title': 'Data_01_Login',
    'file_name': 'DRAMAtical Murder Episode 1 - Data_01_Login'
}

If the default options had been used, the parser would have considered _ as a delimiter and replaced it with space in the episode title.

The options contain the following attributes:

Attribute name	Type	Description	Default value
allowed_delimiters	string	The list of character to be considered as delimiters.	' _.&+,|'
ignored_strings	list of strings	A list of strings to be removed from the filename during parse.	[]
parse_episode_number	boolean	If the episode number should be parsed.	True
parse_episode_title	boolean	If the episode title should be parsed.	True
parse_file_extension	boolean	If the file extension should be parsed.	True
parse_release_group	boolean	If the release group should be parsed.	True
