More details
-----------

Wordbook is a Python asynchronous library to query Dict servers. It implements the main parts of DICT protocol (`RFC 2229 `_)

The library consists two classes:

* **DictBase**: which implements commands from RFC2229.
* **Wordbook**: which exposes more abstract methods to find a definition within dictionaries.

Both classes are asynchronous and require Python 3.5+.

Installation
------------

To install from pypi

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo pip install wordbook

or from source:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo python setup.py install

Examples
--------

Getting information from a server using the *DictBase* class:

.. code-block:: pycon

import asyncio
import wordbook

async def main():
dictb = wordbook.DictBase()
await dictb.connect()
await dictb.client('wordbook/server-status.py')
info = await dictb.show_server()
for line in info:
print(line)

if __name__ == "__main__":
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
loop.close()

Output:

.. code-block::

dictd 1.12.1/rf on Linux 4.10.0-30-generic
On LT19758: up 07:55:45, 5 forks (0.6/hour)

Getting definition of word *mock* using the *WordBookDatabase* class:

.. code-block:: pycon

import asyncio
import wordbook

async def main():
wb = wordbook.WordBookDatabase('wn')
await wb.connect()
lines = await wb.define('mock')
for line in lines:
print(line)

if __name__ == "__main__":
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
loop.close()

Output:

.. code-block::

["mock" wn "WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006)"]
mock
adj 1: constituting a copy or imitation of something; "boys in
mock battle"
n 1: the act of mocking or ridiculing; "they made a mock of him"
v 1: treat with contempt; "The new constitution mocks all
democratic principles" [syn: {mock}, {bemock}]
2: imitate with mockery and derision; "The children mocked their
handicapped classmate"
