Description: PyDictionary: A "Real" Dictionary Module for Python

        ---------------------------------------------------

        

        PyDictionary is a Dictionary Module for Python 2/3 to get meanings,

        translations, synonyms and Antonyms of words. It uses WordNet for

        getting meanings, Google for translations, and thesaurus.com for getting

        synonyms and antonyms.

        

        This module uses Python Requests, BeautifulSoup4 and goslate as

        dependencies

        

        Installation

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~

        

        Installation is very simple through pip (or easy\_install)

        

        For pip

        

        ::

        

            pip install PyDictionary

        

        For Easy\_Install

        

        ::

        

            easy_install -U PyDictionary

        

        Usage

        ~~~~~

        

        PyDictionary can be utilised in 2 ways, either by creating a dictionary

        instance which can take words as arguments or by creating a dictionary

        instance with a fixed amount of words.

        

        For example,

        

        .. code:: python

        

            from PyDictionary import PyDictionary

            dictionary=PyDictionary()

        

        This is will create a local instance of the PyDictionary class and now

        it can be used to get meanings, translations etc.

        

        .. code:: python

        

            print (dictionary.meaning("indentation"))

        

        This will return a dictionary containing the meanings of the word. For

        example the above code will return:

        

        ::

        

            {'Noun': ['a concave cut into a surface or edge (as in a coastline', 'the

             formation of small pits in a surface as a consequence of corrosion', 'th

            e space left between the margin and the start of an indented line', 'the 

            act of cutting into an edge with toothlike notches or angular incisions']

            }                                                                        

        

        The dictionary keys are the different types of the word. If a word is

        both a verb and a noun then there will be 2 keys:'Noun' and 'Verb'. Each

        key refers to a list containing the meanings

        

        For Synonyms,

        

        .. code:: python

        

            print (dictionary.synonym("Life"))

        

        This will return a list containing the Synonyms of the word.

        

        For Antonyms,

        

        .. code:: python

        

            print (dictionary.antonym("Life"))

        

        This will return a list containing the Antonyms of the word.

        

        For Translations,

        

        .. code:: python

        

            print (dictionary.translate("Range",'es'))

        

        This will return the Translation of the word "Range" in Spanish. For

        Language codes consult Google Translate. The return value is String in

        Python 3 and Unicode in Python 2

        

        Alternatively, you can set a fixed number of words to the PyDictionary

        Instance. This is useful if you just want to get the meanings of some

        words quickly without any development need.

        

        Example:

        

        .. code:: python

        

            from PyDictionary import PyDictionary

        

            dictionary=PyDictionary("hotel","ambush","nonchalant","perceptive")

            'There can be any number of words in the Instance'

        

            print(dictionary.printMeanings()) '''This print the meanings of all the words'''

            print(dictionary.getMeanings()) '''This will return meanings as dictionaries'''

            print (dictionary.getSynonyms())

        

            print (dictionary.translateTo("hi")) '''This will translate all words to Hindi'''

        

        Similarly Synonyms and Antonyms can also be printed onto the screen.

        

        Using the PyDictionary API

        --------------------------

        

        I'm very happy to say that the PyDictionary API has been launched.

        

        It's very easy to use and it returns Meanings, Antonyms, Synonyms and

        Translations in JSON. It runs on Red Hat Open Shift Servers and it uses

        Flask.

        

        Usage

        ^^^^^

        

        For meanings,

        

        ::

        

            http://pydictionary-geekpradd.rhcloud.com/api/meaning/[word]

        

        For Antonyms,

        

        ::

        

            http://pydictionary-geekpradd.rhcloud.com/api/antonym/[word]

        

        For Synonyms,

        

        ::

        

            http://pydictionary-geekpradd.rhcloud.com/api/synonym/[word]

        

        For Translations,

        

        ::

        

            http://pydictionary-geekpradd.rhcloud.com/api/translate/[code]/[word]

        

        Replace word with the word parameter and 'code' with the Google

        Translate Language code
