Re: PyEnchant Spell Checker Issue

[Donald Hirst]

I checked my PyEnchant dictionary, it is the proper format, so something else is going off...  I'll continue to look for the problem. 

Suggestions welcomed.

OK, I'm a newby.  So far, I've successfully set up Leo editor and figured out how to get the latest build; that fixed one error.  Now I am seeing another that was reported as fixed -- PyEnchant doesn't handle crlf (windows text file) nicely as its dictionary.  I posted a comment about this at:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/leo-editor/+bug/787669?comments=all 

Thanks for any suggestions about getting this resolved, in general.  Meanwhile, I'll check the relevant file to ensure it is a Unix style (lf only) file and see if that makes PyEnchant happier.  This is interesting stuff, now I just have to figure out how to use it for my needs.

Thanks all.

Rev 5572 now cleans spellpxy.txt (ensures Linux newlines) before trying to open it.  This may not solve your particular problem, but I think it's a good thing to do.

Edward,

Thanks for this activity; unfortunately, it didn't resolve the problem.  I am still looking; after loading the latest update (which includes Rev 5572) at http://www.greygreen.org/leo/ and running it, I still get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

not a valid dictionary file C:\program files (x86)\leo-editor-latest\leo\plugins\spellpyx.txt

My next steps are to looking to the definition of a well-formed PWL for aspell and ispell; maybe that will give me a clue about why the pyenchant wrapper is throwing the error flag...

Hello Edward,

This time I found the problem and fixed it.  A second look at spellpyx.txt verified that it is a Linux style file, with lines terminating in \n.  That is most of them do; the final line in the as downloaded file has no terminating \n.  Adding that final \n to the last line in the file has fixed my problem.  

I am not sure how spellpyx.txt is generated, but if by program, the program should be changed to incorporate the final \n character.  

After adding the \n, my Leo log is clean:

Thanks, and I'm on to my next challenge -- learning to effectively use Leo.  It should prove interesting.
