PyEnchant

[Lavene]

I'm trying to use the Enchant spellchecker library for Python (python2.4-enchant). But I can only make it work together with 'aspell', but I really would like to use 'myspell' instead. Any idea how to do that?

My testcode:

Code: Select all

import enchant

dictionary = enchant.Dict('en')
word = (raw_input("Please enter word to check: "))

if dictionary.check(word):
    print "Correct"
else:
    print dictionary.suggest(word)

Thanks

The "Provider Ordering" section of the PyEnchant tutorial is quite helpful and clear. However, it doesn't seem to work; maybe there's a bug?

Yes, it seems like I've hit a bug in the 2.4 build. Just for the heck of it I tried python2.3/ python2.3-enchant and it works flawlessly with myspell.

There's no open bugs on it though, so I'll investigate it some more and file a bug report if I can't find the problem.
