find the etymological origins of a word

Project description

ety-python

Python module to find the etymological origins of a word

Note: this module is under construction and doesn't yet have a large enough dataset to be useful

Install

pipenv shell
python setup.py install

Usage

Module

>>> import ety

>>> ety.origins("potato")
['Spanish', 'Taino']

>>> ety.origins("abandon")
['Middle English', 'Middle French', 'Old French']

CLI

After installing, a command-line tool is also available

Usage:
  $ ety <word>

Example:
  $ ety potato
  Spanish, Taino

How it works

(for reference)

In setup.py, the following few lines tell setuptools to set up a cli script called 'ety' that runs the cli method from the ety module.

entry_points={
    'console_scripts': [
        'ety=ety:cli',
    ],
},

The cli method reads in the word as an argument. If no word is specified, the usage instructions and example are displayed
