Utilities for handling Chinese pinyin

The utilities in this library make it easy to use Chinese pinyin

The unit tests are directly in the files and therefore serve as documentation of the utility functions in it. To execute the unit tests, you can just run:

pytest -s pinyin_utils.py

To get the library into a project:

pip install pinyin_utils
