I am using Python 2.7 and i try to print Arabic strings like these

print "ذهب الطالب الى المدرسة"

it's give the following output:

ط°ظ‡ط¨ ط§ظ„ط·ط§ظ„ط¨ ط§ظ„ظ‰ ط§ظ„ظ…ط¯ط±ط³ط©

The purpose is to print the text correctly, and not how to print each line. So, how can I print the string or content of text file correctly in its original form? like:

ذهب الطالب الى المدرسة

解决方案

by this module you can correct your text shape an direction.

just install pips and use it.

# install: pip install --upgrade arabic-reshaper

import arabic_reshaper

# install: pip install python-bidi

from bidi.algorithm import get_display

text = "ذهب الطالب الى المدرسة"

reshaped_text = arabic_reshaper.reshape(text) # correct its shape

bidi_text = get_display(reshaped_text) # correct its direction
