Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

arabic_normalize

✓ from pyarabic import araby

✗ from pyarabic import arabic_normalize

The main module is 'araby', not 'arabic_normalize'.

Araby

✓ import pyarabic.araby as araby

✗ import araby

The package is pyarabic, not a standalone 'araby' package.

Basic usage: import the araby module and use its functions.

import pyarabic.araby as araby text = 'السلام عليكم' normalized = araby.strip_tashkeel(text) print(normalized)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe main module is named 'araby', not 'pyarabic' directly. Import via 'import pyarabic.araby as araby'.

fix

Use 'import pyarabic.araby as araby'.

affects: all

gotchaMany functions expect Unicode strings, not byte strings. Passing bytes will raise TypeError.

fix

Ensure all inputs are str (Unicode) in Python 3.

affects: all

deprecatedThe module 'pyarabic.soundex' is deprecated and may be removed in future versions.

fix

Use alternative soundex implementations like 'arabic_soundex' package.

affects: >=0.6.12

Errors

AttributeError: module 'pyarabic' has no attribute 'strip_tashkeel'

Trying to call function directly on pyarabic instead of the araby submodule.
