Exporting Sublists form a Wordlist with LingPy and Concepticon

This gist describes, how you can extract sublists from a wordlist in LingPy with help of the pyconcepticon API. See https://calc.hypotheses.org/date/2018/07 for details on the code and additional explanations.

code.py

from lingpy import *
from pyconcepticon.api import Concepticon

concepts = {
        c.concepticon_id: c.english for c in Concepticon(
            ).conceptlists['Kolipakam-2018-100'].concepts.values()
        }
jachontov = [
        c.concepticon_id for c in Concepticon(
            ).conceptlists['Yakhontov-1991-35'].concepts.values()
        ]

# get the sublist for jachontov shared with the given dataset
sublist = [b for a, b in concepts.items() if a in jachontov]

# load the wordlist
wl = Wordlist('DravLex.tsv')

# output data
wl.output(
        'tsv',
        filename='DravLex-sublist',
        subset=True,
        rows=dict(concept = ' in '+str(sublist))
        )
