What's inside PyDictionary

  2. Important: PyDictionary is DEPRECATED

    master

    ⚠️ DEPRECATION NOTICE

    PyDictionary is currently DEPRECATED. Maintaining this module requires constantly updating scraping endpoints, which is no longer being supported.

    Recommendation: Users should look for alternative dictionary modules available on PyPI.

  3. Use PyDictionary for single word lookups

    master

    To look up specific properties for a single word, create an instance of PyDictionary and call its methods with the target word as an argument.

    Available methods:

    • meaning(word): Returns a dictionary where keys are parts of speech (e.g., 'Noun', 'Verb') and values are lists of meanings.
    • synonym(word): Returns a list of synonyms.
    • antonym(word): Returns a list of antonyms.
    • translate(word, language_code): Returns the translation of the word. Use language codes compatible with Google Translate (e.g., 'es' for Spanish).
    from PyDictionary import PyDictionary

dictionary = PyDictionary()

# Get meanings
print(dictionary.meaning("indentation"))

# Get synonyms
print(dictionary.synonym("Life"))

# Get antonyms
print(dictionary.antonym("Life"))

# Get translation (e.g., to Spanish)
print(dictionary.translate("Range", 'es'))

  4. Use PyDictionary for batch word processing

    master

    You can initialize a PyDictionary instance with a fixed list of words to perform batch operations. This is useful for processing a predefined set of words without calling individual methods for each.

    Available batch methods:

    • printMeanings(): Prints the meanings of all words in the instance to the screen.
    • getMeanings(): Returns a dictionary containing the meanings of all words in the instance.
    • getSynonyms(): Returns synonyms for all words in the instance.
    • translateTo(language_code): Translates all words in the instance to the specified language code (e.g., 'hi' for Hindi).
    from PyDictionary import PyDictionary

# Initialize with a list of words
dictionary = PyDictionary("hotel", "ambush", "nonchalant", "perceptive")

# Batch operations
dictionary.printMeanings()
print(dictionary.getMeanings())
print(dictionary.getSynonyms())
print(dictionary.translateTo("hi"))
