Features!

• main_cleaner to do all the below in one call ! or

• remove unnecessary blank lines

• stip out a perticular character or default one

• transfer all characters to lowercase if needed

• remove numbers, symblos and stop-words from the whole text

• tokenize the text-data on one call

• stemming & lemmatization powered by NLTK

  The goal is to make basic cleaning of data hassle free. Most of the developers who are working with text data have faced this situation where data is not consumable and they end up wasting their time on these issues rather than fine tunning the model and get better accuracy. In that scenario this library can be useful and save you a tone of time.

• NLTK - for advanced cleaning

• REGEX - for regular expression
