        *a homoglyph is one of two or more graphemes, characters, or glyphs with
        shapes that appear identical or very similar*
        `wikipedia:Homoglyph <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoglyph>`__
        
        Unicode homoglyphs can be a nuisance on the web. Your most popular
        client, AlaskaJazz, might be upset to be impersonated by a trickster who
        deliberately chose the username ΑlaskaJazz.
        
        -  ``AlaskaJazz`` is single script: only Latin characters.
        -  ``ΑlaskaJazz`` is mixed-script: the first character is a greek
           letter.
        
        You might also want to avoid people being tricked into entering their
        password on ``www.micros﻿оft.com`` or ``www.faϲebook.com`` instead of
        ``www.microsoft.com`` or ``www.facebook.com``. `Here is a
        utility <http://unicode.org/cldr/utility/confusables.jsp>`__ to play
        with these **confusable homoglyphs**.
        
        Not all mixed-script strings have to be ruled out though, you could only
        exclude mixed-script strings containing characters that might be
        confused with a character from some unicode blocks of your choosing.
        
        -  ``Allo`` and ``ρττ`` are fine: single script.
        -  ``AlloΓ`` is fine when our preferred script alias is 'latin': mixed script, but ``Γ`` is not confusable.
        -  ``Alloρ`` is dangerous: mixed script and ``ρ`` could be confused with
           ``p``.
        
        This library is compatible Python 2 and Python 3.

        Is the data up to date?
        -----------------------
        
        Yep.
        
        The unicode blocks aliases and names for each character are extracted
        from `this file <http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Scripts.txt>`__
        provided by the unicode consortium.
        
        The matrix of which character can be confused with which other
        characters is built using `this
        file <http://www.unicode.org/Public/security/latest/confusables.txt>`__
        provided by the unicode consortium.
        
        This data is stored in two JSON files: ``categories.json`` and
        ``confusables.json``. If you delete them, they will both be recreated by
        downloading and parsing the two abovementioned files and stored as JSON
        files again.
        
        
        
        
        History
        -------
        
        1.0.0
        =====
        
        Initial release.
        
        2.0.0
        =====
        
        - `allowed_categories` renamed to `allowed_aliases`
        
        2.0.1
        =====
        
        - Fix a TypeError: https://github.com/vhf/confusable_homoglyphs/pull/2
        
        3.0.0
        =====
        
        Courtesy of Ryan P Kilby, via https://github.com/vhf/confusable_homoglyphs/pull/6 :
        
        - Changed file paths to be relative to the `confusable_homoglyphs` package directory instead of the user's current working directory.
        - Data files are now distributed with the packaging.
        - Fixes tests so that they use the installed distribution instead of the local files. (Originally, the data files were erroneously showing up during testing, despite not being included in the distribution).
        - Moves the data file generation into a simple CLI. This way, users have a method for controlling when the data files are updated.
        - Since the data files are now included in the distribution, the CLI is made optional. Its dependencies can be installed with the `cli` bundle, eg. `pip install confusable_homoglyphs[cli]`.
