Parsing WhatsApp Chat Exports in Python

Notes:

Only has been tested with group chats.
Works on Python 3.10.1, however should work with Python versions >=3.7.
Code has been formatted using black and has been type checked using mypy.
Incorrect parsing of message sender will occur if contact name has a colon in their name, this can be avoided with handling the chat export before processing.

Example snippet of a WhatsApp Chat Export:

	# /// script
	# requires-python = ">=3.12"
	# dependencies = [
	# "tqdm",
	# "ziglang",
	# ]
	# ///
	from enum import Enum
	from io import IOBase
	from math import ceil

	# /// script
	# requires-python = ">=3.10"
	# dependencies = [
	# "mutagen",
	# "pillow",
	# "rich",
	# ]
	# ///
