python3 setup.py install
You can obfuscate text as strings, eventually specifying the language:
import profanity_obfuscation as prof
obfuscator = prof.Prof()
obfuscator.obfuscate_string("puta mierda")
>> 'p*ta m*erda'
obfuscator.obfuscate_string("porca puttana","IT")
>> 'p*rca p*ttana'
Or passing text files (such as .tex):
with open("paper.tex", 'r') as file:
text = file.read()
obfuscated_text = obfuscator.obfuscate_string(text)
with open("paper_obfuscated.tex", 'w') as f:
f.write(obfuscated_text)
You can also use the library to reveal profanities from their obfuscated versions:
obfuscator.reveal_profanity("m*erda")
>> 'mierda'
