Hello,

When I try to use:
from vocabulary.vocabulary import Vocabulary as vb
print vb.antonym("insane")

I get the error:
Connection Lost
False

Thanks in advance for your help,
Amal

I've looked over your project and it seems to be very interesting. In fact I've done something similar for my own purposes. My goal, however, was to build a small set of tools to 1) extract words from my dictionary 2) obtain translation/usage/examples/synonyms etc 3) show that in conky 4) convert that to Anki format for future learning. Take a look if you're interested: https://github.com/balta2ar/yandex-slovari-tetradki/

I've implemented a small set of backends for slightly different sites, the implementation might be not very robust and production ready (it rather scrapes the HTML code, not API), but I still think we have common ideas in our implementations. In this issue I wanted to inquire whether you think that support for additional sites (something along the sites that my script supports) would be appropriate in your project?

Is there anyway to have the case of words ignored when searching for the part of speech?

Hi. I installed successfully this package. (no errors). I try your examples

from vocabulary import Vocabulary as vb
print(vb.meaning('car'))
print(vb.synonym('car'))

Python version 3.5.2 (2.7.12) - I tried it on windows and linux and same result.
It returns me always false no matter what word I use.

only this works:
print(vb.hyphenation('car'))

[{"text": "car", "seq": 0}]

Thanks for help

Hi,

Love this library and thank god it exists! However, the synonyms don't seem to be very accurate. For example, "small" returns "fly" as the first result, and "bridge" as the second. Whilst I can see how the "fly" can be a synonym (at a stretch), not sure how bridge is "synonymous" with "small"? Am wondering if there is anyway to improve the accuracy of synonyms?

Cheers

When using the Vocabulary.meaning() function there is an enormous amount of duplicates. In some cases like the word cat, some meanings are duplicated 4 or even 5 times. Is there any way to only display one of the similar meanings?

Hey,
I tried to install the package using pip but I'm getting an error. I have added the traceback below:

I wasn't able to install Vocabulary in a clean virtual environment (with no installations of requests and mock) either.

As can be observed in the traceback, this issue is due to the import statement in __init__.py module which .
How about we move define the version and release in the setup.py itself so as to keep things condensed ?

On a separate note, I believe that we are using rather constrained dependency package versions.
For example, any version of requests above 2.0.0 should work fine as a dependency.
What's your take on this?

How are they dealt with?

Looking at

The requirements.txt file should be a list of packages required by your package, for parsing by pip.

In your requirements.txt, we have the following:

requests==2.8.1
Vocabulary==0.0.3
wheel==0.26.0

• requests==2.8.1 - Why this version? Is there some quirk you require? If you're just using the normal API, you can leave out the explicit version and just use requests here.
• Vocabulary==0.0.3 - This is your package, right? This could cause some nasty dependency loops in pip, it shouldn't be here.
• wheel==0.26.0 - Why? Where are you using wheel?

usage_example doesn't work, it only returns False.

This is currently done manually

For generating docs using sphinx, one has to manually run the make html command if some changes are made.

Using CI/CD would remove this manual work

Faced the following error while installing via pip:

Collecting vocabulary
Using cached Vocabulary-1.0.2.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/tmp/pip-build-PWXQ1D/vocabulary/setup.py", line 19, in

---

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-PWXQ1D/vocabulary/

I ran pip install requests before this since it failed with the error "No such module : requests" earlier.

While this isn't really a huge problem, you may wish to reformat your docstrings according to the established formats.

PEP 287 recommends that reST (reStructuredText) format be used, but Epytext is popular as well - They're used because Python IDEs are often able to parse them to get more information about the things they document, for example, for auto-completion.

This is similar to the issue #23
I installed vocabulary on 3 different machines. On each machine, I could obtain the meaning, synonym, etc. of the word for only a few function calls (around 800 requests). I then receive 'False' for all the subsequent calls except hyphenation()

Is there a rate limit? If so, can we include it in the docs?

Why do all the methods return a string of JSON? What advantage does this have over returning plain Python objects (dicts, lists, etc)?

It seems a little backwards to return JSON as part of the API that's supposed to be easy to use - now I also have to parse that myself. If you require JSON strings, perhaps you could provide a keyword argument, eg json=True or json=False that will handle this accordingly.

the current way of running tests in the CI is kind of hacky. Using nose for finding/running tests is desirable

Here's some examples.

• https://github.com/prodicus/vocabulary/blob/master/vocabulary/vocabulary.py#L66
• https://github.com/prodicus/vocabulary/blob/master/vocabulary/vocabulary.py#L174
• https://github.com/prodicus/vocabulary/blob/master/vocabulary/vocabulary.py#L214

There's a lot of this. Why False? Shouldn't you be returning None instead? None is still "falsey", so you can still say if not result:, but more correctly denotes the lack of any data to return.

• Pronunciation 'seq' key is always set to 0
• PartOfSpeech doesn't return all data gotten from API, only returns the first
• Antonym value is always a list (Known Issue) and doesn't return all data gotten from the API; this is because the API returns a list and the package handles it as if its a text and just sets it without parsing it first

Hi 👊

This is my first visit to this fine repo, but it seems you have been working hard to keep all dependencies updated so far.

Once you have closed this issue, I'll create seperate pull requests for every update as soon as I find one.

That's it for now!

Happy merging! 🤖

On Windows using Python 3.4, I get an error during installation.
The error happens during install through pip, as well as installation through git-clone / setup.py.

See #1 for fix - explicitly passing encoding="utf8" to the open method when reading the README file.
