PyJoke: Fetch your jokes in Python.
Project description
PyJoke is a package for fetching the perfect joke in a database. You give a sentence, you get a joke. Isn’t that great? Common usage is:
#!/usr/bin/env python from pyjoke.PyJoke import * p = PyJoke() print p.getTheJoke("keywords listed as such")
PyJoke has been developed for as a NAO module (in French), but can also work as a standalone. It should be possible to make it work in English.
# How does it work?
Give a sentence to PyJoke (see script above)
PyJoke will analyse the sentence
First, create a keywords list (by removing stopwords)
If POSTAG is active, it will add a score to each kword
Then, create a query, connect to database and send query
The query (above) is meant to filter the jokes It will get the jokes with at least 1 keyword
Then, score each joke
And return the best one
# What can the user change?
Config a MySQL or a SQLite database
Use of Postag (and the scores)
NAO mode
Language (French by default)
Maximum joke length
Conversation mode (experimental)
# Database format
The joke database needs to have two fields at least: * text * score Text being the joke itself, and score being an arbitrary score that’s not going to be used, really (should do that…)
# Useful libs and dependencies
PyJoke has dependencies, some are optional * NTLK * SQLite (or MySQL) * YAML * TreeTagger (opt) * /usr/lib/sqlite3/pcre.so (opt)
