Arabic Word Net synonyms in Python?

Question

I am using python 2.7, I am trying to get synonyms of Arabic words using Arabic WordNet

I downloaded both needed files:

1. AWNDatabaseManagement.py

Answer 1

Arabic Wordnet works independent of nltk. In the folder where you have AWNDatabaseManagement.py and upc_db.xml, put your script and change it to:

from AWNDatabaseManagement import wn
synsets = wn.get_synsetids_from_word(u"جَمِيل")
for s in synsets:
    wn._items[s].describe()

Output will be:

itemid  jamiyl_a1AR
offset  300218842
name  جَمِيل
type  synset
pos  a
input links  [[u'be_in_state', u'jamaAl_n1AR'], [u'near_antonym', u'qabiyH_a1AR']]
output links  [[u'near_antonym', u'qabiyH_a1AR']]
