import sanakirja as sk

sanakirja = sk.Sanakirja()

# All equivalent formats; use of LangCodes is recommended
sanakirja.search(q="life", l=sk.LangCodes.en)
sanakirja.search(q="life", l="en")
sanakirja.search(q="life", l=3)

Basic search

import sanakirja as sk

sanakirja = sk.Sanakirja()

# No language codes specified -> source language is guessed and simple translations are provided for each language
sanakirja.search(q="everything")

# No target language code specified -> simple translations are provided from the source language to each language
sanakirja.search(q="everything", l=sk.LangCodes.en)

# No source language code specified -> source language is guessed and accurate translations are provided for the target language
sanakirja.search(q="everything", l2=sk.LangCodes.fi)

# Both language codes specified -> accurate translations are provided from the source language to the target language
sanakirja.search(q="everything", l=sk.LangCodes.en, l2=sk.LangCodes.fi)

Error handling

import sanakirja as sk

sanakirja = sk.Sanakirja()

try:
    sk_res = sanakirja.search("universe", 42)
except sk.LanguageCodeError as e:
    print(e)  # Invalid language code: '42'

Valid language codes can be viewed, for example, via the __members__ attribute of the LangCodes IntEnum.

CLI

sanakirja --show="all,-translations" --pretty 2 --output "./result.json" --from fi --to 3 kivi

The above example returns a result dictionary for the query "kivi" from Finnish to English, without the "translations" field and with an indent level of 2, and saves the result into a file called "result.json" at the current directory.
The argument -h, --help provides more information about each argument.
