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(<string>)`.
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).
