  Description     : Rule-based number formatting using Unicode CLDR data

  Provides a pure Python implementation of rule-based number formatting (RBNF)
  using the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR). This library allows
  for the spelling out of numbers for a wide range of locales, supporting
  various rulesets depending on the locale.
  .
  The library supports literal text, quotient and remainder substitution,
  optional substitution, rule substitution, and special rules for negative
  numbers, improper fractions, NaN, and infinity.
  .
  Example usage:
  .
   >>> from unicode_rbnf import RbnfEngine
   >>> engine = RbnfEngine.for_language("en")
   >>> engine.format_number(1234)
   'one thousand two hundred thirty-four'
  .
   >>> from unicode_rbnf import RbnfEngine, RulesetName
   >>> engine = RbnfEngine.for_language("en")
   >>> engine.format_number(1999, RulesetName.YEAR)
   'nineteen ninety-nine'
   >>> engine.format_number(11, RulesetName.ORDINAL)
   'eleventh'
  .
  This package is particularly useful for applications requiring accurate and
  locale-aware number spelling, such as text-to-speech systems, financial
  applications, and other linguistic tools.

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
