Vocab list builder for Python 3 with PYWORDS

get_txt_words.py

# Detailed instructions on how to use this:
# 1. Make sure you have Python 3 installed on your computer. It's available here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
#    Python is a scripting language, meaning you can run it interactively (typing into a terminal) or you can write scripts
#    (like this one) and run them with a Python IDE like PyCharm, or from Python IDLE, or any other way you want. 
#    Python 2 (e.g. 2.7) is NOT supported by PyWORDS, only Python 3.
# 2. Download the PYWORDS repository here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
#    You can download it as a .zip file. Save the zip in a folder somewhere like 
#       C:/Users/<user>/Documents/MyDictionaries/PYWORDS.zip
#    Where "MyDictionaries" is whatever name you choose for the files will be saved. 
#    It doesn't matter where you save it, but for THIS script to work, you need to save this script in the same directory
#    (MyDictionaries).
#    Python uses directory names to detect packages (unless they're installed) so when you run this script, Python
#    sees the "import PYWORDS.lookup" line and expects to find PYWORDS/lookup.py. 
# 2.a Extract the .zip to the same place. Call the directory PYWORDS/ (note capitalization)
#    Wherever you saved things, the files should look like this:
#     * MyDictionaries/get_txt_words.py
#     * MyDictionaries/PYWORDS/
#       - MyDictionaries/PYWORDS/lookup.py
#       - MyDictionaries/PYWORDS/definitions.py
#       - and so on...
#    and within PYWORDS/ you should have lookup.py, etc. 
# 3. Put your .txt file in the MyDictionaries (or whatever you called it) directory, with this script (get_txt_words.py)
#    and the whole PYWORDS repository. Call it "latin.txt", or look at the start of this script for where the filename
#    is set and change the name to something that suits you.
# 4. Open Python IDLE, or PyCharm, or whatever your preferred Python program is, open this script, and run it. The
#    IDE will run each line in order, and it will print the program output to the screen. You should be set!

fname = "latin.txt"   # YOU CAN CHANGE THIS FILENAME. ONLY use .txt (plain text) files - No PDFs

# Everything else should be hands-off.
import PYWORDS.lookup as lookup

fname_base = fname[ : s.find('.txt') ] # Only keep the base filename

f = open(fname,'r') # Open file for reading
txt = ''.join(f.readlines()) # Put all the text together into one string variable
f.close() # Done with the file

# Now we're going to run the main lookup method, lookup.get_vocab_list(txt)
# It returns two variables, both Python 'list' types (arrays), the string entries, and the missed words
dict_entries,missed = lookup.get_vocab_list(txt)

# That's the main method, now we just need to save the results to a new file, which we'll call <file>_DICT.txt
f = open(fname_base+'_DICT.txt','w') # Open file for writing. Overwrites previous file. 
f.write('====== DICTIONARY ENTRIES ======\n') # Header
for e in dict_entries:
  f.write(e+'\n') # Write each entry, one after another

f.write('====== MISSED WORDS ======\n') 
for m in missed:
  f.write(m+'\n')
f.close()
# We're done, it should have printed out a bunch of numbers, which are the number of bytes written each
# time we called f.write() (so you can ignore them).
