Extracts data from German Wiktionary dump files. Allows you to add your own extraction methods 🚀

Project description

wiktionary_de_parser

wiktionary_de_parser is a Python module to extract data from German Wiktionary XML files. It allows you to add your own extraction methods.

Requirements

  • Python 3.7 (might work with other 3.+ versions, but not tested)

Features

  • comes with preset extraction methods for:
    • flexion tables, genus, IPA, language, lemma, part of speech, syllables, raw Wikitext
  • allows you to add your own extraction methods (pass them as argument)
  • data values are normalized and cleaned from obsolete Wikitext markup
  • yields per section, not per page (a word can have multiple meanings, which is why some Wiktionary pages have multiple 'sections')

Usage

  1. Install via pip3 install wiktionary_de_parser.
  2. Import wiktionary_de_parser like this:
from bz2file import BZ2File
from wiktionary_de_parser import Parser

bzfile_path = 'C:/Users/Gregor/Downloads/dewiktionary-latest-pages-articles-multistream.xml.bz2'
bz = BZ2File(bzfile_path)

for record in Parser(bz):
    if 'language' not in record or record['language'] != 'Deutsch':
      continue
    # do stuff with 'record'

Note: in this example we use BZ2File to read a compressed Wiktionary dump file. The Wiktionary dump file is obtained from here.

Adding new extraction methods

All extraction methods must return a Dict() and accept the following arguments:

  • title (string): The title of the current Wiktionary page
  • text (string): The Wikitext of the current word entry/section
  • current_record (Dict): A dictionary with all values of the current iteration (e. g. current_record['language'])
# Create a new extraction method
def my_method(title, text, current_record):
  # do stuff
  return {'my_field': my_data}

# Pass a list with all extraction methods to the class constructor:
for record in Parser(bz, custom_methods=[my_method]):
    print(record['my_field'])
