Glossary.py is a Python module that interacts with an online dictionary API. It's designed to fetch and manage word descriptions, phonetics, and semantics in a structured way.
- Fetches word descriptions, phonetics, and semantics from an online dictionary API.
- Implements a class-based approach for managing fetched data.
- Allows to set a limit for the number of descriptions per part of speech for a word.
- Provides audio transcription and audio file link for the fetched word.
- Allows to get all definitions or definitions based on a part of speech.
pip install python-glossary
from python_glossary.glossary import Glossary
# Create a rule object and set a limit for descriptions
rules = Glossary.Rules()
rules.set_limit_of_descriptions(3)
# Create a word object with a specific word and rule
word = Glossary.Word('example', rules)
# Check if the word exists
if word.exists():
# Get transcription
print(word.get_transcription())
# Get audio link
print(word.get_audio())
# Get all definitions
print(word.get_all_definitions())
# Get definitions for a specific part of speech
print(word.get_definitions_of_part_of_speech('noun'))

for fetching word data. Ensure you have a stable internet connection while using this module.
