# Installation
```bash
pip install sner
```
or

```bash
python setup install
```

# Start
## NER Client
Run the following commands to start the NER server

```bash
cd your_stanford_ner_dir
java -Djava.ext.dirs=./lib -cp stanford-ner.jar edu.stanford.nlp.ie.NERServer -port 9199 -loadClassifier ./classifiers/english.all.3class.distsim.crf.ser.gz -tokenizerFactory edu.stanford.nlp.process.WhitespaceTokenizer -tokenizerOptions tokenizeNLs=false
```
Use the following in Python to access the NER server

```python
from sner import Ner

test_string = "Alice went to the Museum of Natural History."
tagger = Ner(host='localhost',port=9199)
print(tagger.get_entities(test_string))

```
The following results are expected

```python
[('Alice', 'PERSON'),
('went', 'O'),
('to', 'O'),
('the', 'O'),
('Museum', 'ORGANIZATION'),
('of', 'ORGANIZATION'),
('Natural', 'ORGANIZATION'),
('History', 'ORGANIZATION'),
('.', 'O')]
```

## POS Client
Run the following commands to start the POS server

```bash
cd your_stanford_pos_dir
java -cp stanford-postagger.jar edu.stanford.nlp.tagger.maxent.MaxentTaggerServer -port 9198 -model models/english-bidirectional-distsim.tagger
```
Use the following in Python to access the POS server

```python
from sner import POSClient

test_string = "Alice went to the Museum of Natural History."
tagger = POSClient(host='localhost', port=9198)
print(tagger.tag(test_string))
```
The following results are expected

```python
[('Alice', 'NNP'),
('went', 'VBD'),
('to', 'TO'),
('the', 'DT'),
('Museum', 'NNP'),
('of', 'IN'),
('Natural', 'NNP'),
('History', 'NN'),
('.', '.')]
```
