unimorph-rs: A Rust CLI and Python library for working with UniMorph data

[Josh Rotenberg]

Hi all,

I've released unimorph-rs, a command-line tool and Python library for working with UniMorph morphological data. It provides fast local access to UniMorph datasets for lookups, analysis, and export.

CLI Installation

    # Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
    brew install joshrotenberg/brew/unimorph

    # Shell installer
    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/joshrotenberg/unimorph-rs/releases/latest/download/unimorph-installer.sh | sh

    # Cargo
    cargo install unimorph

Pre-built binaries for macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), Linux (x64/ARM64), and Windows are also available on the releases page:
https://github.com/joshrotenberg/unimorph-rs/releases/latest

CLI examples

    # Download a dataset
    unimorph download spa

    # Look up all forms of a lemma
    unimorph inflect spa hablar

    # Reverse lookup - find lemmas for a surface form
    unimorph analyze spa hablo

    # Search with filters
    unimorph search spa --lemma "habl*" --contains V,IND

    # Export to JSON Lines
    unimorph export spa -f jsonl -o spanish.jsonl

Python library

    pip install unimorph-rs

    from unimorph import Store, download

    download("spa")
    store = Store()

    for entry in store.inflect("spa", "hablar"):
        print(f"{entry.form}: {entry.features}")

Data is stored locally in SQLite for fast queries. The CLI also includes dataset statistics, shell completions, and colored output.
