List,
I would like to let you guys know that I replaced the pywordnet
dependency, with a new one named nltk. pywordnet was an unsupported
project that had a lot of bugs, nltk [0] is way better, and allows us
to perform more tasks. The next time you update w3af, you'll get a
message that says: "You have to install the nltk lib. Please read the
users guide.", you should:
cd extlib/nltk/
sudo python setup.py install
cd ../../
That should fix your problem.
I would like to thank Luciano Bello for pointing me to nltk, which
helped me discover this great thing about it:
>>> wn.synsets('blue')[0].hypernyms()
[Synset('chromatic_color.n.01')]
>>> wn.synsets('blue')[0].hypernyms()[0].hyponyms()
[Synset('orange.n.02'), Synset('brown.n.01'), Synset('green.n.01'),
Synset('salmon.n.04'), Synset('red.n.01'), Synset('blue.n.01'),
Synset('blond.n.02'), Synset('purple.n.01'), Synset('olive.n.05'),
Synset('yellow.n.01'), Synset('pink.n.01'), Synset('pastel.n.01'),
Synset('complementary_color.n.01')]
>>>
In other words, the wordnet plugin is now able to test a lot of
combinations, that it wasn't able to test in the past. A clear example
is in the "scripts/script-wordnet.w3af" script, that has one of the
targets set to "blue.html", and based on that it finds azure.html,
green.html, red.html .
This change, also takes us one step closer to the w3af.deb package! =)
