py-thesaurus 1.0.3

To fetch the thesaurus of an input word

Description

This package gets you the thesaurus of an inputted word from the best dictionary sites available online.

• Thesaurus.com

• Dictionary.com

Why you need this package?

Though python provides lexical resources like WordNet, the variety it can provide is poor. The rich content the dictionary.com or the thesaurus.com provides will help the user to enhance their approaches when he/she is dealing with text mining, NLP techniques and much more.

How to install?

Use basic pip install to install this library.

pip install py_thesaurus

Release Notes

Version 1.0.3 (2018-01-13)

• Solved dependency issue of lxml.

• Fixed a bug on command line implementation.

• Issue tracker link is added in README to report bugs and suggests features.

Version 1.0 (2017-12-31)

• Sometimes you need to disagree in life, we added a feature to get antonyms of an inputted word.

• Synonyms are not a pile of related words anymore. You want synonyms of ‘love’ as a ‘noun’, you get synonyms of ‘love’ as a ‘noun’. Period.

• We love everyone being one of a kind, there will not be any duplicates in output lists anymore.

• Output lists are more refined and ordered by relevance since disciplined is new sexy.

• 0.95 is a decimal but 0.9.5 has a meaning in software development. We got it late but happily adapted to Semantic Versioning.

• Several other bugs are brutally killed during the development of this package. No prayers.
