Installation

pip install dict-fr-ABU

French dictionaries from Association des Bibliophiles Universels (ABU)

DESCRIPTION

This package contains several dictionaries processed from those made available by the Association des Bibliophiles Universels (ABU) organization before 2003.

FILES

All files are installed in Python's /usr/local equivalent, under share/dict.

Original files

Generated files

These generated files went through the following transformations:

• extraction of the headers in the dict-fr-header-* files above
• conversion from ISO-Latin-1 to UTF-8
• sort
• removal of duplicates
• removal of lemma and grammatical info from dict-fr-ABU-mots_communs
• removal of the zip codes from dict-fr-ABU-cites
• lossless conversion of accents for the *-ascii versions
• combination of the *-ascii and *-unicode versions into the *-combined ones (without duplicates)

SEE ALSO

HISTORY

These data files were originally intended to be used with the PNU project's anagram command, as well as many other text processing tools.

I wrote an history of Unix & French dictionaries (in French only), which covers this dictionary and many others.

LICENSE

The original contents, as well as this package, are licensed under the ABU 1.1 license.

Some source files had mandatory headers that were kept under data/dict-fr-ABU-Header-* rather than in the files themselves, in order to ease direct processing with other tools.
