How to convert Chinese characters to Pinyin

Question

For sorting Chinese language text, I want to convert Chinese characters to Pinyin, properly separating each Chinese character and grouping successive characters together.

Answer 1

You can use the following method:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
from pypinyin import lazy_pinyin

hanzi_list = ['如何', '将', '汉字','转为', '拼音']
pinyin_list = [''.join(lazy_pinyin(_)) for _ in hanzi_list]

Output:

['ruhe', 'jiang', 'hanzi', 'zhuanwei', 'pinyin']
