Usage

from sms_counter import SMSCounter

>>> counter = SMSCounter.count('ǂ some-string-to-be-counted ');
>>> counter
>>> {'length': 29, 'messages': 1, 'remaining': 41, 'per_message': 70, 'encoding': 'UTF16'}

The meaning of the length, remaining and per_message values returned by SMSCounter.count() depend on the encoding.

For GSM_7BIT_EX encoding, length, remaining and per_message count the number of 7-bit characters in the message, including the escape character that must precede any characters in the "extended" character set. For example, the length of the message '€' is 2, because it takes 2 7bit characters to encode '€' in GSM_7BIT_EX.

For UTF16 and GSM_7BIT encoding, length, remaining and per_message count the number of characters (since all characters have an equal bit width).
