Documentation

API

To import a single list, type import liblistloader.[word list]. Then, you can get a list, each item being a word in the word list, by typing liblistloader.[word list].words.

WARNING! These lists are VERY long! For example, desiquintans_nounlist is 6,801 words long! Therefore, liblistloader.desiquintans_nounlist.words returns a list with 6,801 items in it. I would not recommend the following code for your sanity:

import liblistloader.desiquintans_nounlist

for word in liblistloader.desiquintans_nounlist.words:
    print(word)

Output (total 6,801 lines):

ATM
CD
SUV
TV
aardvark
abacus
abbey
abbreviation
abdomen
...

Import all noun lists and pick a random word from a few:

import random
import liblistloader

print("desiquintans_nounlist: " + random.choice(liblistloader.desiquintans_nounlist.words))

Output (will vary because a random word is being picked):

desiquintans_nounlist: velocity
