Stefan,
Thanks for your interest. liblouis already has hyphenation algorithms
that use the same tables. They are used for some languages and braille
codes that have complicated rules about contractions that cross syllable
boundaries. liblouisxml calls liblouis functions that use these
algorithms for hyphenation at the ends of lines.
What is needed is Python bindings for liblouis and liblouisxml.
Thanks,
John
