Is there a library to convert integer to first/second/third [closed]

Question

I have a list of integers - is there a library to convert them into plain text ranking? IE: 1,2,3 -> "first, second, third" ?

Answer 1

The python inflect package has a method for converting numerals into ordinals:

import inflect p = inflect.engine()  for i in range(1,25,5):     print(p.ordinal(i)) 

displays:

1st 6th 11th 16th 21st 

Answer 2

How high are you planning on going? (Do you ever expect higher than, say, "twentieth"?)

Maybe you just need a dict,

nth = {     1: "first",     2: "second",     3: "third",     4: "fourth"     # etc }
