unidic 1.0.1

UniDic packaged for Python

unidic-py

This is a version of UniDic packaged for use with pip.

Currently it supports 2.3.0, the latest version of UniDic. Note this will take up 1GB on disk after install and can take a long time to download. If you want a small package, try unidic-lite.

After installing via pip, you need to download the dictionary using the following command:

python -m unidic download

Example use with fugashi, though mecab-python3 works the same way:

import fugashi
import unidic
tagger = fugashi.Tagger('-d{}'.format(unidic.DICDIR))
# that's it!
