linguistica 5.2.0

Download and install

Linguistica 5 is available through pip:

$ pip install linguistica

Linguistica 5 works with Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6.

To use the graphical user interface, only Python 3 is supported. In addition, PyQt5 and SIP are required. PyQt5 is readily available from pip:

$ pip install PyQt5

At the time of writing (April 2017), SIP is best downloaded and installed from its source. (SIP is available through pip, but it does not include the C/C++ code generator for PyQt5.)

Using Linguistica 5

To use Linguistica 5 as a Python library, simply import linguistica in your Python programs:

import linguistica as lxa

To launch the Linguistica 5 graphical user interface (with SIP and PyQt5 installed):
