My First Package on PyPI!

πŸŽ‰ Introducing WhatsApp Chat Parser πŸŽ‰

Hello Dev community!

Today, I'm thrilled to share a milestone that I've reached in my coding journey. I've just published my very first package to PyPI, that is WhatsApp Chat Parser!

πŸš€ About WhatsApp Chat Parser

WhatsApp Chat Parser is a tool that makes it easier for everyone to extract and analyze their WhatsApp chat histories. Whether you're a researcher, marketer, or just someone curious about your chat patterns, this tool is designed to help you parse through the data with ease.

Here's a quick rundown of what you can do with it:

  • Extract conversation data including datetime, sender, and message content.
  • Parse chat logs into a user-friendly Pandas DataFrame.
  • Directly output a CSV file from the command line for further analysis.

πŸ› οΈ How to Install

You can install the package with a simple pip command:

pip install whatsapp-parse
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

πŸ“ˆ Future Updates

I'm already planning some exciting updates, including:

  • Support for additional date and time formats.
  • More output formats for different use cases.
  • Handling media attachments to get a comprehensive view of your chat data.

🀝 Contributing

I wholeheartedly welcome contributions to the WhatsApp Chat Parser project. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or improvements, feel free to give me any feedback, since I believe that I grow on critics.

Cheers, Hassan Hamada
