# textpipe: clean and extract metadata from text

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/textpipe/textpipe.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/textpipe/textpipe)

`textpipe` is a Python package for converting raw text in to clean, readable text and
extracting metadata from that text. Its functionalities include transforming
raw text into readable text by removing HTML tags and extracting
metadata such as the number of words and named entities from the text.

## Vision: the zen of textpipe

- Designed for use in production pipelines without adult supervision.
- Rechargeable batteries included: provide sane defaults and clear examples to adapt.
- A uniform interface with thin wrappers around state-of-the-art NLP packages.
- As language-agnostic as possible.
- Bring your own models.

## Features

- Clean raw text by removing `HTML` and other unreadable constructs
- Identify the language of text
- Extract the number of words, number of sentences, named entities from a text
- Calculate the complexity of a text
- Obtain text metadata by specifying a pipeline containing all desired elements
- Obtain sentiment (polarity and a subjectivity score)
- Generates word counts
- Computes minhash for cheap similarity estimation of documents

## Installation

It is recommended that you install textpipe using a virtual environment.

- First, create your virtual environment using [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/) or [virtualenvwrapper](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

- Using Venv if your default interpreter is python3.6

```bash
python3 -m venv .venv
```

- Using virtualenv.

```bash
virtualenv venv -p python3.6
```

- Using virtualenvwrapper

```bash
mkvirtualenv textpipe -p python3.6
```

- Install textpipe using pip.

```bash
pip install textpipe
```

- Install the required packages using *requirements.txt*.

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### A note on spaCy download model requirement

While the requirements.txt file that comes with the package calls for spaCy's en_core_web_sm model, this can be changed depending on the model and language you require for your intended use. See [spaCy.io's page on their different models](https://spacy.io/usage/models) for more information.

## Usage example

```python
>>> from textpipe import doc, pipeline
>>> sample_text = 'Sample text! '
>>> document = doc.Doc(sample_text)
>>> print(document.clean)
'Sample text!'
>>> print(document.language)
'en'
>>> print(document.nwords)
2

>>> pipe = pipeline.Pipeline(['CleanText', 'NWords'])
>>> print(pipe(sample_text))
{'CleanText': 'Sample text!', 'NWords': 3}
```

In order to extend the existing Textpipe operations with your own proprietary operations;

```python
test_pipe = pipeline.Pipeline(['CleanText', 'NWords'])
def custom_op(doc, context=None, settings=None, **kwargs):
return 1

custom_argument = {'argument' :1 }
test_pipe.register_operation('CUSTOM_STEP', custom_op)
test_pipe.steps.append(('CUSTOM_STEP', custom_argument ))

```
