• Implements a class-based approach for managing fetched data.
• Allows to set a limit for the number of descriptions per part of speech for a word.
• Provides audio transcription and audio file link for the fetched word.
• Allows to get all definitions or definitions based on a part of speech.

Installation

pip install python-glossary

How to Use:

from python_glossary.glossary import Glossary

# Create a rule object and set a limit for descriptions
rules = Glossary.Rules()
rules.set_limit_of_descriptions(3)

# Create a word object with a specific word and rule
word = Glossary.Word('example', rules)

# Check if the word exists
if word.exists():
    # Get transcription
    print(word.get_transcription())
    # Get audio link
    print(word.get_audio())
    # Get all definitions
    print(word.get_all_definitions())
    # Get definitions for a specific part of speech
    print(word.get_definitions_of_part_of_speech('noun'))
