I'm having trouble installing pyenchant on a MacbookPro running Lion.

I got PyEnchant with files for many languages: en_US, en_AU, de_DE, fr_FR . Now I call list of dictionaries and see only small set: 'en', 'en_US', 'en_GB', 'en_CA' . I call: items = enchant._broker.list_languages() How to load into Enchant other langs? New files? So enchant.Dict() can take it. You can check that you have a language available, from a Python prompt type: import enchant print enchant.list_languages() Then you need to import it, lets assume german is the one I am looking for. Then, from terminal I type: sudo apt-get install myspell-de-de To check it works, from a Python prompt

I am trying to install python bindings for the enchant library (pyenchant), according to the readme, it should be as simple as running python setup.py install But when I try that, I get this error: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './tools/pyenchant-bdist-osx-sources/build/lib' Can someone tell me what to do? I have tried google, but with no luck. PS: I have this same question on serverfault, as I thought that was the most appropriate place for it, but with little help there, I am now trying here. You need to install the enchant library first. On the download page pyenchant

I'm fairly new with Python and NLTK. I am busy with an application that can perform spell checks(replaces the incorrectly spelled word with the correctly spelled word), Im currently using the Enchant Library on Python-2.7, PyEnchant and the NLTK library. The code below is the class that handles the correction/replacement. from nltk.metrics import edit_distance class SpellingReplacer(object): def __init__(self, dict_name = 'en_GB', max_dist = 2): self.spell_dict = enchant.Dict(dict_name) self.max_dist = 2 def replace(self, word): if self.spell_dict.check(word): return word suggestions = self
