Install

pip install -U tokenize-output

Usage

You can use tokenize-output command as well as export the tokenizers in Python:

from tokenize_output.tokenize_output import *
tokenizer_split("Hello world!")
# {'final': set(), 'new': {'Hello', 'world!'}}

Words tokenizing

echo "Try https://github.com/xxh/xxh" | tokenize-output -p
# Try
# https://github.com/xxh/xxh

JSON, Python dict and JavaScript object tokenizing

echo '{"Try": "xonsh shell"}' | tokenize-output -p
# Try
# shell
# xonsh
# xonsh shell

env tokenizing

echo 'PATH=/one/two:/three/four' | tokenize-output -p
# /one/two
# /one/two:/three/four
# /three/four
# PATH

Development

Tokenizers

Tokenizer is a functions which extract tokens from the text.

You can create your tokenizer and add it to tokenizers_all in tokenize_output.py.

Tokenizing is a recursive process where every tokenizer returns final and new tokens. The final tokens directly go to the result list of tokens. The new tokens go to all tokenizers again to find new tokens. As result if there is a mix of json and env data in the output it will be found and tokenized in appropriate way.

How to add tokenizer

You can start from env tokenizer:

1. Prepare regexp
2. Prepare tokenizer function
3. Add the function to the list and to the preset.
4. Add test.
5. Now you can test and debug (see below).

Test and debug

Run tests:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/anki-code/tokenize-output
cd tokenize-output
python -m pytest tests/

To debug the tokenizer:

echo "Hello world" | ./tokenize-output -p
