Create new command functions for dictionary & thesaurus

[GeorgeCiesinski]

Create new command functions such as:

• !syn:word
• !def:word

Where word is the word being passed to these functions.

The exact command structure can be changed if a better alternative is found.

!syn:word would erase the command and paste the first synonym. The command would remain in progress and the up/down arrow would shuffle through the other synonyms up to a certain limit. Pressing space, tab, or enter would exit the command.

!def:word would erase the command and paste the definition of the word.

Found the library nltk (https://nltk.org) and below instructions:

This needs to be moved to a future update. This is a much larger feature than I anticipated and may require a functional GUI first.

The below class can be added once this feature is ready to be created.

import nltk
from Logger import Logger
from nltk.corpus import wordnet


class WordTools:

    def __init__(self, _log):

        nltk_dir = './nltk/'

        nltk.download('wordnet', download_dir=nltk_dir)

        nltk.data.path.append(nltk_dir)

    def get_synonym_list(self, word):

        _synsets = wordnet.synsets(word)

        _synonyms = []

        for syn in _synsets:
            for item in syn.lemmas():
                _synonyms.append(item.name())

        # Todo: Determine some sort of sorting. Sort by popularity would be ideal. Otherwise, alphabetical is another option

        return _synonyms


if __name__ == "__main__":

    # Debugging

    # Creates instance of Logger
    L = Logger()
    L.log.debug("Program started from WordTools.py. Debugging.")

    word = WordTools(L)
    word.get_synonym_list("fall")

After consideration, I decided to save this feature for after the GUI has successfully been implemented to take advantage of GUI features.
