What is Enchant?

Enchant is used to check the spelling of words and suggest corrections for words that are miss-spelled. It can use many popular spellchecking packages to perform this task, including ispell, aspell and MySpell. It is quite flexible at handling multiple dictionaries and multiple languages.

More information is available on the Enchant website:

How do I use it?

For Windows users, install the pre-built binary packages using pip::

pip install enchantx

These packages bundle a pre-built copy of the underlying enchant library. Users on other platforms will need to install "enchant" using their system package manager (brew on macOS).

Once the software is installed, python's on-line help facilities can get you started. Launch python and issue the following commands:

>>> import enchantx
>>> help(enchantx)
