LanguageTool through server mode

Example usage

>>> import language_tool
>>> lang_tool = language_tool.LanguageTool("en-US")
>>> text = "but it’s suppose to be all yellowy."
>>> matches = lang_tool.check(text)
>>> len(matches)
2

Check out some Match object attributes:

>>> matches[0].fromy, matches[0].fromx
(0, 0)
>>> matches[0].ruleId, matches[0].replacements
('UPPERCASE_SENTENCE_START', ['But'])
>>> matches[1].fromy, matches[1].fromx
(0, 9)
>>> matches[1].ruleId, matches[1].replacements
('SUPPOSE_TO', ['supposed'])

Print a Match object:

>>> print(matches[1])
Line 1, column 10, Rule ID: SUPPOSE_TO[1]
Message: Probably you should use a past participle here: 'supposed'.
Suggestion: supposed
but it’s suppose to be all yellowy.
         ^^^^^^^

Automatically apply suggestions to the text:

>>> language_tool.correct(text, matches)
'But it’s supposed to be all yellowy.'
