Hyphenation question

[Andrew Hinkley]

I'd like to use hyphen-la to automate hyphenation, but I can't figure out how to use it from the Linux commandline. I tried 

$ ./syllabify.py -t chant -m liturgical

I get

  File "/home/ahinkley/Downloads/Git/hyphen-la/scripts/./syllabify.py", line 157, in <module>
   hyphenator = pyphen.Pyphen(filename=dir_path+'/../patterns/hyph_la_'+args.mode+'.dic',left=lefthyphenmin,right=righthyphenmin)
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyphen/__init__.py", line 223, in __init__
   hdcache[filename] = HyphDict(filename)
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pyphen/__init__.py", line 118, in __init__
   encoding = path.open('rb').readline().decode()
              ^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'open'

Suppose I want to send a string as input and have it output to the terminal (or a file), what command should I be using?

Also, do I need to run make before I use the scripts?

Thank you,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

You can type ./syllabify.py -h to see all the options of the script. In your case I think you need to type ./syllabify.py -i yourfile.txt -o outputfile.txt as -t chant and -m lirturgical atre the default options. I tried it just now on my computer and it works.

Please verify all the dependancies are satisfied to perform this action (available in the Readme).

Let me know if you need further assistance,

Arnaud

Not having used this tool myself:

You need to run `make all` in the `/Git/hyphen-la` dir. 

Instead of:

$ ./syllabify.py -t chant -m liturgical

Try:

$ ./syllabify.py -i <file-to-syllabate> -o <syllabated-file.gabc>

chant and liturgical are defaults, so not necessary to give on the command line. You can omit -o <syllabated-file.gabc> to test, which will print the output to stdout (terminal) for review.

I ran make all, make check_all, and make test and I still get exactly the same error. I think there's a dependency missing but I can't figure out what. I have pyphen installed (via an openSuSE package).
