Decat is a Python package capable of de-concatenating strings that do not have white-spaces in them, or in other words, it allows the user to infer spaces programmatically. This is a simple utility that comes in handy with various modern Natural Language Processing(NLP) tasks such as cleaning, exploration or even manipulation of text. Zipf's Law is at the core of this project, the aim is to provide an easy interface for programmers to extract meaningful information out of deformed pieces of texts.
