Evapyrate

Evapyrate is a fun bijective text transformer. It maps characters into binary, replacing 0 bits with \u200B and 1 bits with \u200C, joining the bytes together with \u200D. Note that the forementioned characters are ZWCs (zero-width characters). In many text spaces, these characters will not be visible and will not appear to take up any space. You can use repr() to view the raw unicode sequences if you require.

The text transformer is bijective, meaning there is a one-to-one correspondence between the original and the transformed text.

I made this module for fun, it advise against using it in a practical context other than to play around with it.

Usage

Import the module:

import evapyrate

Use the evaporate function to encode text:

>>> import evapyrate

>>> evapyrate.evaporate("Hello world!")
'​​‌​​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​​​​​‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌​‍‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‍‌​​​​‌'

Use the condense function to decode the text to its original form:

>>> import evapyrate

>>> evapyrate.condense("​​‌​​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​​​​​‍‌‌‌​‌‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌‌​​‌​‍‌‌​‌‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‍‌​​​​‌")
'Hello world!'

Command Line Interface

The CLI commands work in the same way as the module.

eva (evaporate)

$ evapyrate eva foo bar
Evaporated: [‌‌​​‌‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​​​​​‍‌‌​​​‌​‍‌‌​​​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‌​]

Use the -c flag to copy to clipboard (assuming pyperclip is installed).

$ evapyrate eva -c foo bar
Evaporated: [‌‌​​‌‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​​​​​‍‌‌​​​‌​‍‌‌​​​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‌​]
Copied to clipboard!

con (condense)

$ evapyrate con ‌‌​​‌‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​​​​​‍‌‌​​​‌​‍‌‌​​​​‌‍‌‌‌​​‌​
Condensed: foo bar

Note: It is difficult to copy the ZWCs from the evaporate function to use in the condense function. It is recommended that you use the -c flag when using the eva command.

Installation

Install from pip.

pip install evapyrate
