Bundle emojis in package

It is difficult for me to provided reusable software if the emjois are not already bundled in the demoji package. I understand and acknowledge that the list of emjois could be routinely updated, but this is not a reason to routinely not bundle the list in the package itself. For instance, I believe Python comes bundled with unicode data. You can still offer users a way to update the emoji list, and otherwise fallback to what’s in the package.

This issue has been tentatively resolved by demoji release 1.0.0, which is in release candidate stage right now. This release bundles static copy of Unicode emoji data with the package rather than requiring a runtime download.

You can get this pre-release using --pre:

python3 -m pip install --pre -U demoji

I appreciate your feedback prior to releasing 1.0.0!

@Ronserruya I chose to just go with the emjoi package which doesn’t have this issue:

EMOJI_REGEXP = emoji.get_emoji_regexp()
EMOJI_REGEXP.sub("", "your text, optionally having emojis")
