wiktionary-de-parser 0.14.1

Extracts data from German Wiktionary dump files.

wiktionary-de-parser

A Python module to extract data from German Wiktionary XML files (for Python 3.11+).

Features

• Extracts IPA transcriptions, hyphenation, language, part of speech information (basic), genus and flexion tables of a word.
• Yields per entry, not per page (a page can have multiple entries/ words can have different meanings)

Installation

pip install wiktionary-de-parser

Or with Poetry:

poetry add wiktionary-de-parser

Usage

Loading the XML dump file

from wiktionary_de_parser import WiktionaryParser
from wiktionary_de_parser.dump_processor import WiktionaryDump

# To download the dump file, specify the directory where the
# dump file should be stored.
dump = WiktionaryDump(dump_dir_path="directory-of-dump-file")

# This will download "dewiktionary-latest-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2" to
# the directory specified in `dump_dir_path`.
dump.download_dump()

# Alternatively you can specify a different dump file to download.
dump = WiktionaryDump(
    dump_dir_path="directory-of-dump-file",
    dump_download_url="url-to-dump-file.xml.bz2",
)
dump.download_dump()

# If you already have the dump file locally, specify the path to the file.
dump = WiktionaryDump(dump_file_path="path-to-dump-file.xml.bz2")
dump.download_dump()

Parsing the dump file

from pprint import pprint
from wiktionary_de_parser import WiktionaryParser

# ... (see above)

parser = WiktionaryParser()

for page in dump.pages():
    # Skip redirects
    if page.redirect_to:
        continue

    if page.name == "Abend":
        # Parse all entries for "Abend"
        for entry in parser.entries_from_page(page):
            results = parser.parse_entry(entry)
            pprint(results)
        break

Output

All page entries for "Abend":
