remove_accents.py (remove all accents from a polytonic Greek document)

https://github.com/djemos/remove_accents.py

This is a python program to remove all accents from a polytonic ancient Greek document

Usage: python ./remove_accents.py polytonic_file monotonic_file

Save your ancient Greek polytonic text to a file e.g. polyt.txt then run

python ./remove_accents.py polyt.txt mono.txt

You will get the new text with no accents in the file mono.txt

==Ancient Greek doc==
Ὦ κοινὸν αὐτάδελφον Ἰσμήνης κάρα,
ἆρ᾿ οἶσθ᾿ ὅ τι Ζεὺς τῶν ἀπ᾿ Οἰδίπου κακῶν
ὁποῖον οὐχὶ νῷν ἔτι ζώσαιν τελεῖ
Οὐδὲν γὰρ οὔτ᾿ ἀλγεινὸν οὔτ᾿ ἄτης ἄτερ
οὔτ᾿ αἰσχρὸν οὔτ᾿ ἄτιμόν ἐσθ᾿ ὁποῖον οὐ
τῶν σῶν τε κἀμῶν οὐκ ὄπωπ᾿ ἐγὼ κακῶν.
Καὶ νῦν τί τοῦτ᾿ αὖ φασι πανδήμῳ πόλει
κήρυγμα θεῖναι τὸν στρατηγὸν ἀρτίως;
Ἔχεις τι κεἰσήκουσας; ἤ σε λανθάνει
πρὸς τοὺς φίλους στείχοντα τῶν ἐχθρῶν κακά;

==mono.txt==
Ω κοινὸν αυτάδελφον Ισμήνης κάρα,
αρ᾿ οισθ᾿ ό τι Ζεὺς τών απ᾿ Οιδίπου κακών
οποίον ουχὶ νων έτι ζώσαιν τελεί
Ουδέν γὰρ ούτ᾿ αλγεινὸν ούτ᾿ άτης άτερ
ούτ᾿ αισχρὸν ούτ᾿ άτιμόν εσθ᾿ οποίον ου
τών σών τε καμών ουκ όπωπ᾿ εγὼ κακών.
Καὶ νυν τί τουτ᾿ αυ φασι πανδήμω πόλει
κήρυγμα θείναι τὸν στρατηγὸν αρτίως;
Έχεις τι κεισήκουσας; ή σε λανθάνει
πρὸς τοὺς φίλους στείχοντα τών εχθρών κακά;
