>>> f.close()

udkanbun.load() has three options udkanbun.load(MeCab=True,Danku=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. With the option Danku=True the pipeline tries to segment sentences automatically.

udkanbun.UDKanbunEntry.to_tree() has an option to_tree(BoxDrawingWidth=2) for old terminals, whose Box Drawing characters are "fullwidth". to_tree(kaeriten=True,Japanese=True) is convenient for Japanese users.

You can simply use udkanbun on the command line:

echo 不入虎穴不得虎子 | udkanbun

Usage via spaCy

If you have already installed spaCy 2.1.0 or later, you can use UD-Kanbun via spaCy Language pipeline.

>>> import udkanbun.spacy
>>> lzh=udkanbun.spacy.load()
>>> d=lzh("不入虎穴不得虎子")
>>> print(type(d))
<class 'spacy.tokens.doc.Doc'>
>>> print(udkanbun.spacy.to_conllu(d))
