>>> s=lzh("不入虎穴不得虎子")
>>> print(s)
# text = 不入虎穴不得虎子

>>> t=s[1]
>>> print(t.id,t.form,t.lemma,t.upos,t.xpos,t.feats,t.head.id,t.deprel,t.deps,t.misc)
1 不 不 ADV v,副詞,否定,無界 Polarity=Neg 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|SpaceAfter=No

>>> print(s.to_tree())
不 <┐     advmod
入 ─┴─┐<┐ advcl
虎 <┐ │ │ nmod
穴 ─┘<┘ │ obj
不 <┐   │ advmod
得 ─┴─┬─┘ root
虎 <┐ │   nmod
子 ─┘<┘   obj

>>> f=open("trial.svg","w")
>>> f.write(s.to_svg())
>>> f.close()

udkanbun.load() has only one option udkanbun.load(MeCab=False). By default, the UD-Kanbun pipeline uses MeCab for tokenizer and POS-tagger, then uses UDPipe for dependency-parser. With the option MeCab=False the pipeline uses UDPipe for all through the processing. to_tree() has an option to_tree(BoxDrawingWidth=2) for old terminals, whose Box Drawing characters are "fullwidth".

You can simply use udkanbun on the command line:

echo 不入虎穴不得虎子 | udkanbun

Installation for Linux

Binary wheel is available for Linux, and is installed by default when you use pip:

pip install udkanbun

Installation for Cygwin64

For installing in Cygwin64, make sure to get gcc-g++ git python37-pip python37-devel swig packages, and then:

pip3.7 install git+https://github.com/KoichiYasuoka/mecab-cygwin64
pip3.7 install udkanbun

Use python3.7 command in Cygwin64 instead of python. For installing in old Cygwin (32-bit), try to use mecab-cygwin32 instead of mecab-cygwin64.

Installation for Jupyter Notebook (Google Colaboratory)

!pip install udkanbun
