A high-level NLP toolkit built on top of modern LLMs.

Project description

TextTools

PyPI License

📌 Overview

TextTools is a high-level NLP toolkit built on top of LLMs.

It provides both sync (TheTool) and async (AsyncTheTool) APIs for maximum flexibility.

It provides ready-to-use utilities for translation, question detection, keyword extraction, categorization, NER extraction, and more - designed to help you integrate AI-powered text processing into your applications with minimal effort.

Note: Most features of texttools are reliable when you use google/gemma-3n-e4b-it model.


✨ Features

TextTools provides a rich collection of high-level NLP utilities, Each tool is designed to work with structured outputs.

  • categorize() - Classifies text into given categories
  • extract_keywords() - Extracts keywords from the text
  • extract_entities() - Named Entity Recognition (NER) system
  • is_question() - Binary question detection
  • text_to_question() - Generates questions from text
  • merge_questions() - Merges multiple questions into one
  • rewrite() - Rewrites text in a different way
  • subject_to_question() - Generates questions about a given subject
  • summarize() - Text summarization
  • translate() - Text translation
  • propositionize() - Convert text to atomic independent meaningful sentences
  • check_fact() - Check whether a statement is relevant to the source text
  • run_custom() - Allows users to define a custom tool with an arbitrary BaseModel

🚀 Installation

Install the latest release via PyPI:

pip install -U hamtaa-texttools

📊 Tool Quality Tiers

Status Meaning Tools Safe for Production?
✅ Production Evaluated, tested, stable. categorize() (list mode), extract_keywords(), extract_entities(), is_question(), text_to_question(), merge_questions(), rewrite(), subject_to_question(), summarize(), run_custom() Yes - ready for reliable use.
🧪 Experimental Added to the package but not fully evaluated. Functional, but quality may vary. categorize() (tree mode), translate(), propositionize(), check_fact() Use with caution - outputs not yet validated.

⚙️ with_analysis, logprobs, output_lang, user_prompt, temperature, validator, priority and timeout parameters

TextTools provides several optional flags to customize LLM behavior:

  • with_analysis: bool → Adds a reasoning step before generating the final output. Note: This doubles token usage per call.

  • logprobs: bool → Returns token-level probabilities for the generated output. You can also specify top_logprobs=<N> to get the top N alternative tokens and their probabilities.
    Note: This feature works if it's supported by the model.

  • output_lang: str → Forces the model to respond in a specific language.

  • user_prompt: str → Allows you to inject a custom instruction or into the model alongside the main template. This gives you fine-grained control over how the model interprets or modifies the input text.

  • temperature: float → Determines how creative the model should respond. Takes a float number from 0.0 to 2.0.

  • validator: Callable (Experimental) → Forces TheTool to validate the output result based on your custom validator. Validator should return a boolean. If the validator fails, TheTool will retry to get another output by modifying temperature. You can also specify max_validation_retries=<N>.

  • priority: int (Experimental) → Task execution priority level. Affects processing order in queues. Note: This feature works if it's supported by the model and vLLM.

  • timeout: float → Maximum time in seconds to wait for the response before raising a timeout error Note: This feature only exists in AsyncTheTool.


🧩 ToolOutput

Every tool of TextTools returns a ToolOutput object which is a BaseModel with attributes:

  • result: Any
  • analysis: str
  • logprobs: list
  • errors: list[str]
  • ToolOutputMetadata
    • tool_name: str
    • processed_at: datetime
    • execution_time: float

Note: You can use repr(ToolOutput) to print your output with all the details.


🧨 Sync vs Async

Tool Style Use case
TheTool Sync Simple scripts, sequential workflows
AsyncTheTool Async High-throughput apps, APIs, concurrent tasks

⚡ Quick Start (Sync)

from openai import OpenAI
from texttools import TheTool

client = OpenAI(base_url = "your_url", API_KEY = "your_api_key")
model = "model_name"

the_tool = TheTool(client=client, model=model)

detection = the_tool.is_question("Is this project open source?")
print(repr(detection))

⚡ Quick Start (Async)

import asyncio
from openai import AsyncOpenAI
from texttools import AsyncTheTool

async def main():
    async_client = AsyncOpenAI(base_url="your_url", api_key="your_api_key")
    model = "model_name"

    async_the_tool = AsyncTheTool(client=async_client, model=model)
    
    translation_task = async_the_tool.translate("سلام، حالت چطوره؟", target_language="English")
    keywords_task = async_the_tool.extract_keywords("Tomorrow, we will be dead by the car crash")

    (translation, keywords) = await asyncio.gather(translation_task, keywords_task)
    print(repr(translation))
    print(repr(keywords))

asyncio.run(main())

👍 Use Cases

Use TextTools when you need to:

  • 🔍 Classify large datasets quickly without model training
  • 🌍 Translate and process multilingual corpora with ease
  • 🧩 Integrate LLMs into production pipelines (structured outputs)
  • 📊 Analyze large text collections using embeddings and categorization
