One thing that I have to say I found particularly nice is the pyfst[1]
for OpenFST, this is after having programmed with the OpenFST bridge to
HFST in c++, it mostly just works and has a real pythonic feel to it.
And the ipython notebook addition is very nice.
As a short example I would probably want to use apertium python module
e.g. like this:
import apertium
ape_fin = apertium.load("fin-morph")
analyses = ape_fin.analyse("kissa")
for analysis in analyses:
print(analysis)
ape_findeu = apertium.load("fin-deu-debug")
translations = ape_findeu.translate("puutarhassa")
for translation in translations:
print(translation)
Details about package/class/functions and names are unimportant to
me, but it should be simple and not require messing about with
irrelevant datatypes (headers/streams/alphabets/pipelines/...) and
underlying complexities like many c++-to-python bindings tend to be.
