PyEDICTOR: Simple Access to EDICTOR Databases

+++ PyEDICTOR is deprecated and superseded by the edictor package.+++

Installation:

$ pip install edictor[lingpy]

Usage

>>> from edictor.wordlist import fetch_wordlist as fetch
>>> wl = fetch("deepadungpalaung", to_lingpy=True)
>>> print(wl.width)
16

To load as a LexStat wordlist:

>>> from lingpy import *
>>> from edictor.wordlist import fetch_wordlist as fetch
>>> lex = fetch("deepadungpalaung", to_lingpy=True, transform=LexStat)

To convert your dataset to EDICTOR format from CLDF:

$ edictor wordlist -d cldf/cldf-metadata.json mydataset

This will create a wordlist file mydataset.tsv from your CLDF data located in cldf/cldf-metadata.json.
