english-words-py

Contains sets of English words from svnweb.freebsd.org/csrg/share/dic/. This is up to date with revision 61569 of their words list.

There are four sets in this package:

• english_words_set: A set of English words containing both upper- and lower-case letters; with punctuation.
• english_words_lower_set: A set of English words containing lower-case letters; with punctuation.
• english_words_alpha_set: A set of English words containing both upper- and lower-case letters; with no punctuation.
• english_words_lower_alpha_set: A set of English words containing lower-case letters; with no punctuation.

where the lower set is the same as the english_words_set with all upper-case letters converted to lower-case letters, and where the alpha set is the same as the english_words_set with all apostrophes (') removed. The lower_alpha set intuitively has both of the rules from the lower set and the alpha set applied.

You can use use these like you would any Python set:

>>> from english_words import english_words_set
>>> 'ghost' in english_words_set
True
