WordTriePy

This is a small Python package that implements a trie filled with words from several languages (English - en, German - de , French - fr, Spanish - es, Portuguese - pt) implemented as nested dictionaries.

Install

pip install wordtriepy

Usage

To find all characters that could follow the partial word "chair" in the English language, use the get_next_chars() method:

from wordtriepy import WordTrie

t = WordTrie()
print(t.get_next_chars("chair"))
# outputs: ['_end', 'b', 'e', '-', 'i', 'l', 'm', 'p', 's', 'w']

The _end token tells us that "chair" itself is a valid word and there are 4 other characters ('b', 'e', '-', 'i', 'l', 'm', 'p', 's', 'w') that could follow the word "chair" in the English language that could form new valid words.

To get a list of words that can be formed by the partial word "salz" in the German language, use the get_next_words() method:

from wordtriepy import WordTrie

t = WordTrie(language="de")
print(t.get_next_words("salz", topn=5))
# outputs: ['salz', 'salze', 'salzt', 'salzen', 'salzes']

This returns the top 5 words after a breadth-first-search in the German word trie.
