Tiny botched-together python script to replace (some) emoji with classic smileys. I have never written python before, so forgive any transgressions. Takes text with unicode emojis on standard input, spits out emojis replaced by either classic smileys (`:-)`) or textual variants (`:joy:`) on standard output. Alternatively, `import` it in your script and call `replace_emoji()`. For example, start by adding this repo to your project (you're using git, I presume): ```sh git submodule add https://git.anduin.net/ltning/emoji_to_smiley.git smiley ``` then, in your code ```python from smiley import smiley for line in sys.stdin: print(smiley.replace_emoji(line)) ``` Needs ``` pip3.12 install emoji-data-python ``` or whatever your platform wants. There are probably a million better ways to do this. (I'll be using this, at some point, in front of my Pleroma-Gopher interface).
