punsy

A rhyming pun generator for Python

Initial POC

The POC takes in a sentence, picks out the last word, finds a random rhyming match and inserts it in place. E.g. "Napoleon Dynamite" -> "Napoleon VEGEMITE"

To install, run:

pip install punsy

You can then run punsy with:

punsy --sentence 'napoleon dynamite'

An example run:

Docker

You build the docker image and run the POC with

make poc

Running interactively

• Enter the docker container with

make build shell

Option 1:

You can use the punsy/cmu.py command with the following format:

./punsy/cmu.py <cmu_file_path> <sentence> <offset>

Option 2: ipython

Then, launch the ipython command and use as follows (output omitted):

In [1]: from punsy import cmu
In [2]: poc = cmu.POC()
In [3]: poc.run('NAPOLEON DYNAMITE', offset=2)

The Suffix trie

You can experiment with the suffix trie by running it directly with

./punsy/structs/suffix_trie.py

OR, the regular trie with

./punsy/structs/trie.py

Hall of Fame

As time passes, this will hopefully fill with some legitimately funny examples! Until then, we have these :)
