Is there a good python library that can turn numbers into their respective “symbols”? [closed]

Answer 1

You may inherit numbers.Number:

def baseN(base,alphabet='0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'):
    class _baseN(numbers.Number):
        digits=alphabet[:base]
        def __init__(self,value):
            if isinstance(value,int):
                self.value=value
                if self.value==0:
                    self.string='0'
                else:
                    tmp=[abs(value)]
                    while tmp[0]!=0:
                        tmp[:1]=divmod(tmp[0],base)
                    tmp=[alphabet[i] for i in tmp]
                    tmp[0]='-' if self.value<0 else ''
                    self.string=''.join(tmp)
            elif isinstance(value,str):
                assert(value.isalnum())
                self.string=str(value)
                self.value=0
                for d in value:
                    self.value=self.value*base+self.digits.index(d)
            else:
                self.value=0
                self.string='0'
        def __int__(self):
            return self.value
        def __str__(self):
            return self.string
        def __repr__(self):
            return self.string
        def __add__(self,another):
            return self.__class__(self.value+int(another))
    return None if base>len(alphabet) else _baseN

Found another bug. Change it to a factory function. Now may handle general situation.
