## Installation

freebible package is available on PyPI, so it can be installed via pip by using

```bash

Please note that freebible requires **Python 3**. It does not work on ~~Python 2~~ anymore.

## Sample code

### Easy access

```python
>>> from freebible import bibles

# Quote everything
>>> bibles.print("Gen")
[1] 創世記
[1] Genesis
>>> bibles.print("Gen", 1, 1)
[Ge 1:1] 元始に神天地を創造たまへり 
[Gen 1:1] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

# Quote from a specific bible
>>> bibles.kougo.quote("John")  # this returns a book object
Book(ID='104', title='ヨハネ傳福音書', filename='John', title_eng='John', short_name='John')
>>> bibles.kougo.quote("John", 1)  # this returns a chapter object
Chapter(ID='1')
>>> bibles.kougo.quote("John", 1, 1)  # this returns a verse object
John 1:1 太初に言あり、言は神と偕にあり、言は神なりき。

>>> bibles.web.quote("John")
Book(ID='43', title='John', filename='', title_eng='John', short_name='John')
>>> bibles.web.quote("John", 1)
Chapter(ID='1')
>>> bibles.web.quote("John", 1, 1)
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
```

### Accessing Kougo

>>> from freebible import read_kougo
>>> kougo = read_kougo()
>>> print(len(kougo))
66
>>> print(kougo['John'])
[104] ヨハネ傳福音書
>>> print(len(kougo['John']))
21
>>> print(kougo['John'][1])
Chapter(ID='1')
>>> print(kougo['John'][1][1])
[John 1:1] 太初に言あり、言は神と偕にあり、言は神なりき。
```

### Accessing World English Bible (WEB)

>>> from freebible import read_web
>>> web = read_web()
>>> print(len(web))
66
>>> print(web['John'])
[43] John
>>> print(len(web['John']))
21
>>> print(web['John'][1])
Chapter(ID='1')
>>> print(len(web['John'][1]))
51
>>> print(web['John'][1][1])
[John 1:1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
```
