ISLE pronunciation dictionary accessors

Documentation Status Updates

Utility classes to support easy extraction and manipulation of dictionary-to-pronunciation from the ISLE dictionary.

Features

  • Loading and navigating around the data structures of the ISLE lexicon.

Credits

Package author is Jeremy G Kahn, repackaging the very useful ISLE pronunciation lexicon from the Illinois Speech and Language Engineering group.

This package was created with Cookiecutter and the audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage project template.

Installation

Stable release

To install ISLEX pronunciation dictionary accessors, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install islex

This is the preferred method to install ISLEX pronunciation dictionary accessors, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

This package is tested for support on Python 2.7+, Python 3.4+, and current PyPy.

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

From sources

The sources for ISLEX pronunciation dictionary accessors can be downloaded from the Github repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/jkahn/islex

Or download the tarball:

$ curl  -OL https://github.com/jkahn/islex/tarball/master

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

$ python setup.py install

Release checklist

Update HISTORY.rst with release notes for upcoming release. Commit to master.

Check that everything still works:

$ make test-all

Update the version number:

$ bumpversion patch  # or minor, or major?

Make sure everything still works:

$ make test-all

Push the version bump and its tag up to the repo:

$ git push; git push --tags

Expect (if you’re Jeremy) that travis will push the wheel to pypi.

Edit the release on Github (e.g. https://github.com/jkahn/islex/releases). Paste release notes into the release’s release page, and come up with a title for the release.

Usage

To use ISLEX pronunciation dictionary accessors in a project:

import islex

The core classes are loaded from:

import islex.tokens

And the loading module is found in:

import islex.load

Data itself is generated from ISLE dictionary downloads found in supporting projects islex-core, islex-periphery, and islex-entities.

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up islex for local development.

  1. Fork the islex repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/islex.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv islex
    $ cd islex/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ flake8 islex tests
    $ python setup.py test or py.test
    $ tox
    

    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.

  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/jkahn/islex/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ py.test tests.test_islex

Roadmap

Next up

  • Include clean, indexed dictionary in package.

Wishlist

  • Depend on attr module instead of namedtuple.

Improvements to automation

  • get coverage automation through travis.
  • cherrypick tweaks to template out to separate package-automation branch
  • Port package-automation into a cookiecutter-pypackage fork.
