NET

net is a guibible module and has a class called Bible.

Bible

Bible has two methods namely:

  • display() –> Displays a specified bible verse in a graphical format.
  • read() –> Displays a specified bible verse in the console window.

Arguments

the Bible class can take between 0 - 4 arguments. It tries to help fix spelling errors and wrong book name, chapter or verse and if none can be fixed, it falls back to the nearest correct mistake level. For example, if psalm was spelt wrongly, it falls back to Genesis, if Psalm has no chapter 2345, it falls back to Psalm 1.

Zero argument

Bible() – > Will get the default values i.e. Genesis Chapter 1.

One argument

Bible(“Book name”)

Bible("Exodus") – > Will use first parameter as the book name and a default chapter 1 to get the verse i.e. Exodus Chapter 1.

Two argument

Bible(“Book name”, chapter number)

Bible("Psalm", 3) – > Will use first parameter as the book name and the second parameter as the second parameter as the chapter number to get the passage i.e. Psalm 3.

Three argument

Bible(“Book name”, chapter number, verse begin number)

Bible("Psalm", 23, 5) – > Will use first parameter as the book name, the second parameter as the chapter, and the third parameter as the verse number to get the passage i.e. Psalm 23:5.

Psalm 23:5 (NET)

Four argument

Bible(“Book name”, chapter number, verse begin number, verse end number)

Bible("Proverb", 2, 4, 6) – > Will use first parameter as the book name, the second parameter as the chapter, and the third parameter as the verse starting number and the fourth parameter as the verse end-number to get the passage i.e. Proverb 2:4-6.

Proverbs 2:4-6 (NET)

Importing module class

You can import the Bible class in any of the following ways. For example:

Usage

var = guibible.net.Bible("Genesis")      #1

var = Bible("Psalm", 1)     #2

var = somename.Bible("Exodus", 1, 4)  #3

var = somename.Bible("1 Thessalonians", 3, 4, 5)     #4

import guibible.net         #1

from guibible.net import Bible      #2

import guibible.net as somename     #3

from guibible.net import Bible as somename  #4

Module methods

read()

Read takes no argument and can be used easily after importing the Bible class and creating an instance as in the example below. It will then print the corresponding passage to the console window.

from guibible.net import Bible
sample = Bible("Psalm", 23)
sample.read()
Console result

display()

display can be used easily after importing the Bible class and creating an instance as in the example below. It will then display the corresponding passage in a window using pygame’s graphic display. It takes between zero to two arguments.

Arguments

note

A tuple or list is required to change foreground and background colour for the display argument.

e.g. display( (0, 255, 0), (255, 0, 0) )

Zero arguments

instance_variable.display()

uses the default foreground and background colours

One argument

Display( [R, G, B] )

instance_variable.display( (foreground colour) )

will set the text foreground color to the specifed RGB tuple or list and leave the background as the default value. e.g. the code below will set the texts colour to blue.

sample.bible( (0,0,255) )
Coloured

Two arguments

instance_variable.display( [foreground colour], [background colour] )

will set the text foreground color to the first RGB tuple or list argument and the background color to the second RGB tuple or list argument. e.g. the code below will set the texts colour to white and the background colour to black.

sample.bible( [255, 255, 255], [0, 0, 0] )
light on dark

Important

pygame must be installed for this to work
