Hi, Some of you may have noticed that (after about 8 years) I fixed a couple real bugs (though very insignificant) in the bidi algorithm in FriBidi. Those were discovered by running FriBidi against the Unicode BidiTest.txt test suite. The code for that is here: https://github.com/behdad/fribidi-vs-unicode A while back, I ported the Arabic shaping logic in FriBidi to Python. That can be found here: https://github.com/behdad/pyarabicshaping Finally, yesterday I wrote a Python reference bidi implementation from scratch. Note, it's a *reference* implementation. Very slow. It's 150 times slower than FriBidi. It does pass all tests and I'm fairly sure that it's bugfree now: https://github.com/behdad/pybyedie Finally, there's a new draft of UAX#9 out that adds "bidi isolates". It's a major update to the algorithm. The current draft is at: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/tr9-28.html#I1 I'm implementing that in the 6.3 branch of pybyedie. Eventually I hope it will make it in FriBidi too, though the N0 rule is hard to implement given FriBidi's API.
