PyAutoCorpus

A python interface to the excellent AutoCorpus library.

Right now, it only supports the wiki markup textify function, which strips out markup. From my benchmarks, this ends up being ~40x faster than methods to strip markup using other libraries:

mwparserfromhell 0.208 sec/doc
wikitextparser 0.215 sec/doc
pyautocorpus 0.005 sec/doc

where:

• mwparserfromhell is mwparserfromhell.parse(x).strip_code()
• wikitextparser is wikitextparser.parse(x).plain_text()
• pyautocorpus is pyautocorpus.Textifier().textify(x)

Installing

From pypi:

pip install pyautocorpus

From source:

Be sure to clone recursively:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/seanmacavaney/pyautocorpus.git

You will first need the pcre library installed.

python setup.py install

Usage

Example:

import pyautocorpus
textifier = pyautocorpus.Textifier()
textifier.textify("==Wiki Marked up text==\n [[Some Page|link text]] example.")
'Wiki Marked up text\n\n\n link text example.'
