AyDictionary: A Dictionary Module for Python

AyDictionary is modified version of PyDictionary

AyDictionary is a Dictionary Module for Python 3 to get meanings, synonyms and Antonyms of words. It uses WordNet for getting meanings, Google for translations, and synonym.com for getting synonyms and antonyms.

This module uses Python Requests, BeautifulSoup4 and click as dependencies

Installation

Installation is very simple through pip (or easy_install)

For pip

pip install AyDictionary

For Easy_Install

easy_install  AyDictionary

Usage

AyDictionary can be utilised in 2 ways, either by creating a dictionary instance which can take words as arguments or by creating a dictionary instance with a fixed amount of words.

For example,

from AyDictionary import AyDictionary
dictionary = AyDictionary()

This is will create a local instance of the AyDictionary class and now it can be used to get meanings, translations etc.

print (dictionary.meaning("indentation"))

This will return a dictionary containing the meanings of the word. For example the above code will return:

{'Noun': ['a concave cut into a surface or edge (as in a coastline', 'the
 formation of small pits in a surface as a consequence of corrosion', 'th
e space left between the margin and the start of an indented line', 'the 
act of cutting into an edge with toothlike notches or angular incisions']
}                                                                        

The dictionary keys are the different types of the word. If a word is both a verb and a noun then there will be 2 keys: 'Noun' and 'Verb'. Each key refers to a list containing the meanings

For Synonyms,

print (dictionary.synonym("Life"))

This will return a list containing the Synonyms of the word.

For Antonyms,

print (dictionary.antonym("Life"))

This will return a list containing the Antonyms of the word.

Alternatively, you can set a fixed number of words to the AyDictionary Instance. This is useful if you just want to get the meanings of some words quickly without any development need.

Example:

from AyDictionary import AyDictionary

dictionary=AyDictionary("hotel","ambush","nonchalant","perceptive")
'There can be any number of words in the Instance'

print(dictionary.printMeanings()) '''This print the meanings of all the words'''
print(dictionary.getMeanings()) '''This will return meanings as dictionaries'''
print (dictionary.getSynonyms())

Similarly Synonyms and Antonyms can also be printed onto the screen.
