nltk.internals module¶
- class nltk.internals.Counter[source]¶
Bases:
object
A counter that auto-increments each time its value is read.
- class nltk.internals.Deprecated[source]¶
Bases:
object
A base class used to mark deprecated classes. A typical usage is to alert users that the name of a class has changed:
>>> from nltk.internals import Deprecated >>> class NewClassName: ... pass # All logic goes here. ... >>> class OldClassName(Deprecated, NewClassName): ... "Use NewClassName instead."
The docstring of the deprecated class will be used in the deprecation warning message.
- class nltk.internals.ElementWrapper[source]¶
Bases:
object
A wrapper around ElementTree Element objects whose main purpose is to provide nicer __repr__ and __str__ methods. In addition, any of the wrapped Element’s methods that return other Element objects are overridden to wrap those values before returning them.
This makes Elements more convenient to work with in interactive sessions and doctests, at the expense of some efficiency.
- __init__(etree)[source]¶
Initialize a new Element wrapper for
etree
.If
etree
is a string, then it will be converted to an Element object usingElementTree.fromstring()
first:>>> ElementWrapper("<test></test>") <Element "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf8'?>\n<test />">
- exception nltk.internals.ReadError[source]¶
Bases:
ValueError
Exception raised by read_* functions when they fail. :param position: The index in the input string where an error occurred. :param expected: What was expected when an error occurred.
- nltk.internals.config_java(bin=None, options=None, verbose=False)[source]¶
Configure nltk’s java interface, by letting nltk know where it can find the Java binary, and what extra options (if any) should be passed to Java when it is run.
- Parameters:
bin (str) – The full path to the Java binary. If not specified, then nltk will search the system for a Java binary; and if one is not found, it will raise a
LookupError
exception.options (list(str)) – A list of options that should be passed to the Java binary when it is called. A common value is
'-Xmx512m'
, which tells Java binary to increase the maximum heap size to 512 megabytes. If no options are specified, then do not modify the options list.
- nltk.internals.deprecated(message)[source]¶
A decorator used to mark functions as deprecated. This will cause a warning to be printed the when the function is used. Usage:
>>> from nltk.internals import deprecated >>> @deprecated('Use foo() instead') ... def bar(x): ... print(x/10)
- nltk.internals.find_binary(name, path_to_bin=None, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), binary_names=None, url=None, verbose=False)[source]¶
- nltk.internals.find_binary_iter(name, path_to_bin=None, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), binary_names=None, url=None, verbose=False)[source]¶
Search for a file to be used by nltk.
- Parameters:
name – The name or path of the file.
path_to_bin – The user-supplied binary location (deprecated)
env_vars – A list of environment variable names to check.
file_names – A list of alternative file names to check.
searchpath – List of directories to search.
url – URL presented to user for download help.
verbose – Whether or not to print path when a file is found.
- nltk.internals.find_dir(filename, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), file_names=None, url=None, verbose=False)[source]¶
- nltk.internals.find_file(filename, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), file_names=None, url=None, verbose=False)[source]¶
- nltk.internals.find_file_iter(filename, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), file_names=None, url=None, verbose=False, finding_dir=False)[source]¶
Search for a file to be used by nltk.
- Parameters:
filename – The name or path of the file.
env_vars – A list of environment variable names to check.
file_names – A list of alternative file names to check.
searchpath – List of directories to search.
url – URL presented to user for download help.
verbose – Whether or not to print path when a file is found.
- nltk.internals.find_jar(name_pattern, path_to_jar=None, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), url=None, verbose=False, is_regex=False)[source]¶
- nltk.internals.find_jar_iter(name_pattern, path_to_jar=None, env_vars=(), searchpath=(), url=None, verbose=False, is_regex=False)[source]¶
Search for a jar that is used by nltk.
- Parameters:
name_pattern – The name of the jar file
path_to_jar – The user-supplied jar location, or None.
env_vars – A list of environment variable names to check in addition to the CLASSPATH variable which is checked by default.
searchpath – List of directories to search.
is_regex – Whether name is a regular expression.
- nltk.internals.import_from_stdlib(module)[source]¶
When python is run from within the nltk/ directory tree, the current directory is included at the beginning of the search path. Unfortunately, that means that modules within nltk can sometimes shadow standard library modules. As an example, the stdlib ‘inspect’ module will attempt to import the stdlib ‘tokenize’ module, but will instead end up importing NLTK’s ‘tokenize’ module instead (causing the import to fail).
- nltk.internals.java(cmd, classpath=None, stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, blocking=True)[source]¶
Execute the given java command, by opening a subprocess that calls Java. If java has not yet been configured, it will be configured by calling
config_java()
with no arguments.- Parameters:
cmd (list(str)) – The java command that should be called, formatted as a list of strings. Typically, the first string will be the name of the java class; and the remaining strings will be arguments for that java class.
classpath (str) – A
':'
separated list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP archives to search for class files.stdin – Specify the executed program’s standard input file handles, respectively. Valid values are
subprocess.PIPE
, an existing file descriptor (a positive integer), an existing file object, ‘pipe’, ‘stdout’, ‘devnull’ and None.subprocess.PIPE
indicates that a new pipe to the child should be created. With None, no redirection will occur; the child’s file handles will be inherited from the parent. Additionally, stderr can besubprocess.STDOUT
, which indicates that the stderr data from the applications should be captured into the same file handle as for stdout.stdout – Specify the executed program’s standard output file handle. See
stdin
for valid values.stderr – Specify the executed program’s standard error file handle. See
stdin
for valid values.blocking – If
false
, then return immediately after spawning the subprocess. In this case, the return value is thePopen
object, and not a(stdout, stderr)
tuple.
- Returns:
If
blocking=True
, then return a tuple(stdout, stderr)
, containing the stdout and stderr outputs generated by the java command if thestdout
andstderr
parameters were set tosubprocess.PIPE
; or None otherwise. Ifblocking=False
, then return asubprocess.Popen
object.- Raises:
OSError – If the java command returns a nonzero return code.
- nltk.internals.overridden(method)[source]¶
- Returns:
True if
method
overrides some method with the same name in a base class. This is typically used when defining abstract base classes or interfaces, to allow subclasses to define either of two related methods:>>> class EaterI: ... '''Subclass must define eat() or batch_eat().''' ... def eat(self, food): ... if overridden(self.batch_eat): ... return self.batch_eat([food])[0] ... else: ... raise NotImplementedError() ... def batch_eat(self, foods): ... return [self.eat(food) for food in foods]
- nltk.internals.read_int(s, start_position)[source]¶
If an integer begins at the specified position in the given string, then return a tuple
(val, end_position)
containing the value of the integer and the position where it ends. Otherwise, raise aReadError
.- Parameters:
s (str) – A string that will be checked to see if within which a Python integer exists.
start_position (int) – The specified beginning position of the string
s
to begin regex matching.

- nltk.internals.read_number(s, start_position)[source]¶
If an integer or float begins at the specified position in the given string, then return a tuple
(val, end_position)
containing the value of the number and the position where it ends. Otherwise, raise aReadError
.- Parameters:
s (str) – A string that will be checked to see if within which a Python number exists.
start_position (int) – The specified beginning position of the string
s
to begin regex matching.
- Returns:
A tuple containing the matched number casted to a
float
, and the end position of the number ins
.- Return type:
tuple(float, int)

- nltk.internals.read_str(s, start_position)[source]¶
If a Python string literal begins at the specified position in the given string, then return a tuple
(val, end_position)
containing the value of the string literal and the position where it ends. Otherwise, raise aReadError
.- Parameters:
s (str) – A string that will be checked to see if within which a Python string literal exists.
start_position (int) – The specified beginning position of the string
s
to begin regex matching.
- Returns:
A tuple containing the matched string literal evaluated as a string and the end position of the string literal.
- Return type:
tuple(str, int)
- Raises:
ReadError – If the
_STRING_START_RE
regex doesn’t return a match ins
atstart_position
, i.e., open quote. If the_STRING_END_RE
regex doesn’t return a match ins
at the end of the first match, i.e., close quote.ValueError – If an invalid string (i.e., contains an invalid escape sequence) is passed into the
eval
.
- Example:
>>> from nltk.internals import read_str >>> read_str('"Hello", World!', 0) ('Hello', 7)
- nltk.internals.slice_bounds(sequence, slice_obj, allow_step=False)[source]¶
Given a slice, return the corresponding (start, stop) bounds, taking into account None indices and negative indices. The following guarantees are made for the returned start and stop values:
0 <= start <= len(sequence)
0 <= stop <= len(sequence)
start <= stop
- Raises:
ValueError – If
slice_obj.step
is not None.- Parameters:
allow_step – If true, then the slice object may have a non-None step. If it does, then return a tuple (start, stop, step).
