a Python library for wordnets

Wn is a Python library for exploring information in wordnets. Install it from PyPI:

$ pip install wn

Then download some data and start exploring:

>>> import wn
>>> wn.download('ewn:2020')    # Install the English WordNet 2020 (only once)
Download complete (13643357 bytes)
Added ewn:2020 (English WordNet)
>>> ss = wn.synsets('win')[0]  # Get the first synset for 'win'
>>> ss.definition()            # Get the synset's definition
'be the winner in a contest or competition; be victorious'

Unlike previous implementations, Wn uses a SQLite database to store wordnet data, which can make it much faster: Wn is 5x faster than the NLTK to list all English synsets, and almost 20x faster if you include the startup time. Some operations, particularly path operations that require multiple SQL queries, may be slower.

Wn is also multilingual from the start. English is not the default. Instead, all wordnets are searched unless one (or more) are specified:

>>> import wn
>>> wn.synsets('chat')                      # all installed wordnets
>>> wn.synsets('chat', lang='en')           # limit to one language
>>> wn.synsets('chat', lexicon='ewn:2020')  # limit to one wordnet
