Generates filks based on a poem format and corpus
Project description
filks
Generates silly poems based off of mad-libbed, serious poems, a tagged text corpus, and a pronunciation dictionary.
Requirements
Python 3.3+
Installation
To install:
pip install filks filk install
The filk install step is not strictly necessary if you plan to use strictly a library and corpus you already have installed; however in most cases this will be most convenient. This step downloads the nltk library texts to your machine.
Usage
To generate a terrible poem:
filk format
See filk format -h for options.
Development
To build the dev environment:
make venv . venv/bin/activate python main.py
LICENSING
All original source code in this repo, including all *.py and configuration files, is released under the MIT license included.
However, this library relies on corpuses from nltk which may have a variety of free-ish licenses.
