from vallex import LexiconCollection, add_file_to_collection
from vallex.grep import parse_pattern, filter_db


# Create a collection of lexicons
coll = LexiconCollection()

# Load a lexicon and add it to the collections
add_file_to_collection(coll, open('v-vallex.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8'))


# Filter the collection looking for lexical units which have ACT in their frame
pat = parse_pattern('frame.functor=ACT')
coll = filter_db(coll, pat)


# Print out the frame attribute of each lexical unit in the filtered
# collection
for lu in coll.lexical_units:
    print(lu.frame)

It also includes a cli interface:

$ vallex-cli -i v-vallex.txt --filter frame,lemma,refl -- grep frame.functor=ACT

  ...
