Available Translations¶
The pythonbible package supports multiple Bible translations with the following goals:
Provide all open source and public domain translations of the Bible as optional packages that can be installed with
pythonbibleor separately.Provide a consistent API for accessing Bible text across all translations.
Allow users to bring their own translations by extending the Bible class and using the add_bible function. This would allow users to use copyrighted translations with
pythonbibleassuming they have the proper license to do so.
The following table lists the Bible translations that are currently available for installation via pip extras, along with their corresponding installation codes and version enum values. We hope to add more translations, especially in languages other than English, in the future.
