xdice is a dice library for Python that provides the main functionality for managing dice, scores, and dice notation patterns.

DiceRollParser has been tested with python 3.4+. xdice is under GNU License

To install:

pip install xdice

What can it do?

• Parse most of common dice notations: ‘1d6+1’, ‘d20’, ‘3d%’, ‘1d20//2 - 2*(6d6+2)’, ‘max(1d4+1,1d6)’, ‘3D6L2’, ‘R3(1d6+1)’…etc.
• Manipulate Dice, Pattern, and Score as objects.
• Roll trough command-line or API
• Understand any mathematical expression

Examples

import dice

score = dice.roll("2d6+18")

print(score)
>> 28
print(score*2)
>> 56
print(score.format())
>> '[5,6]+18'

score = dice.roll("6D%L2")

print(ps, ps.format(verbose=True))
>> 315      '6D%L2(scores:[80, 70, 76, 89], dropped:[2, 49])'
