Python Package to Access Dictionaries from Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon

[Hrishikesh Terdalkar]

Namaste,

I've released a python package for programmatic access and management of dictionaries from Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon.

In essence, it can download/update the specified dictionaries from CDSL, provide a customizable class to access and parse the entries from the dictionary.

It also comes with a REPL, invoked by command cdsl.

Package: https://pypi.org/project/PyCDSL/

Source: https://github.com/hrishikeshrt/PyCDSL

I welcome the interested members to use and comment.

Thank you.

Regards,

Hrishikesh Terdalkar

very interesting. Does it work by using their REST API?

Namaste,

No. It uses SQLite databases from web.zip file available from the download links available on the website. Maintains all the downloaded files in a customizable location (~/cdsl_data by default). Uses ORM from peewee, extends it by adding some basic parsing/transliteration.

One of the tasks that I want to do is writing custom parser functions for parsing entries of several principal dictionaries, and extracting syntactic and semantic information from XML entries.

For example, several dictionaries mention some grammatical information about the words, e.g. gender. This should ideally be extracted and made available as a property of every Entry class instance for easy access such as `e.gender`

This, however, in its entirety is not a straightforward task as far as I understand as it needs a careful understanding of the specific dictionary in question.

Thank you.

Regards,

Hrishikesh
