A simple Python package that looks up synonyms for words.
Synnamon: Offline synonyms for English words (Python 3.8+)
What is it?
Synnamon is a simple Python package that looks up synonyms using a built in thesaurus shelve file instead of reaching out to web resources (PyDictionary) or using large English lexical databases (nltk WordNet).
Where to get it
Source code: https://github.com/eddiethedean/synnamon
# PyPI
pip install synnamon
Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Dependency:
inflex(used to convert plural word lookups to singular and then convert singular synonym results to plural)
Usage
import synnamon
syns = synnamon.get_syns('jump')
print(syns.get('verb', [])[:5])
Behavior
- Input is normalized to lowercase and trimmed.
- If the plural form is not found,
get_synswill try the singular form and pluralize only the noun synonyms. - Returns
{}for unknown words or empty/whitespace input.
API
from synnamon import get_syns
def get_syns(word: str) -> dict:
"""Get synonyms for a word from the built-in thesaurus."""
Development
Run tests with pytest:
pytest -q
