[issue18406] unicodedata.itergraphemes / str.itergraphemes / str.graphemes

[David P. Kendal]

New submission from David P. Kendal:

On python-ideas I proposed the addition of a way to iterate over the graphemes of a string, either as part of the unicodedata library or as a method on the built-in str type. <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-July/021916.html>

I provided a sample implementation, but "MRAB" pointed out that my definition of a grapheme is slightly wrong; it's a little more complex than just "character followed by combiners". <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-July/021917.html>

M.-A. Lenburg asked me to open this issue. <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2013-July/021929.html>
