dcs_wrapper

A small Python wrapper around the Digital Corpus of Sanskrit. Supports iterating through the books, chapters and grammatical analysis of sentences. The data contained as part of this project is based on the data available via dcs_scraper with some minor changes to correct unicode character encoding.

Installation

pip install dcs_wrapper

Usage

>>> from dcs_wrapper import DCS
>>> with DCS() as dcs:
>>>     for book in dcs.iter_books():
>>>         print(book.dcsId, book.title)
>>>     for chapter in dcs.iter_chapters():
>>>         print(chapter.dcsId, chapter.dcsName)
>>>     for sentence in dcs.iter_sentences():
>>>         print(sentence.dcsId, sentence.text, sentence.dcsAnalysisDecomposition)
