thesr 0.0.1

thesaurus (and also dictionary)

Thesaurus Rex

It's a command-line thesaurus tool that fetches a word's homonyms, synonyms, and antonyms from Thesaurus.com via HTTP requests, CSS selectors, regular expressions, and JSON. It's also a dictionary tool that fetches definitions from Webster

Installation

• from PyPI: pip install thesr
• from GitHub: pip install "git+https://github.com/treatmesubj/Thesaurus_Rex

Usage

python -m thesr.thesr [-h] [--word WORD] [--define | --antonyms | --verbose]

If you call thesr without a word argument, it'll fetch a random word from Webster's recent words of the day and fetch its synonyms & antonyms

Common English phrases can be defined and return synonyms as well. Pass the hyphenated phrase as an argument to thesr like so: thesr tongue-and-cheek -d or thesr dime-a-dozen. Webster seems to have sufficient documentation for common idioms and phrases while Thesaurus.com does too, but to a lesser extent.

An argument that yields neither synonyms nor a definition is likely misspelled and will return a list of potentially intended words.
