Description: # arabicscript
        **arabicscript is a Python library of tools for Arabic script based on the Unicode standard.**

        It is independant of font technology, and is intended for the script in general and not for any particular language. It provides utilities for querying properties of Arabic characters and manipulating Arabic-script strings. Some script-independent Unicode tools are also provided.
