stop words lists in many languages

Simple Python package that provides a single function for loading sets of stop words for different languages.

Stop words in English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, were retrieved from the following sources:

• Wiktionary lists of prepositions in the respective languages

• Perseus: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/stopwords

• Ranks.nl: http://www.ranks.nl/resources/stopwords.html

• Google: http://code.google.com/p/stop-words/

• NLTK

The directory called orig contains the original files used to compile the stop word lists. The directory called not_used contains raw data for creating more stop words lists for languages that are not yet available in many_stop_words.available_languages
