enchant.request_pwl_dict()
enchant.request_pwl_dict() is an inbuilt method of enchant module. It is used to build a custom dictionary also known as Personal Word List(PSL).
Syntax : enchant.request_pwl_dict(text_file) Parameter : text_file : the path of the text file which contains the words to be included, one word per line. Returns : a Dict object
Example 1: The contents of the sample file “PWL.txt” are:
qwerty jabba gfg
Python3
# import the enchant moduleimport enchant# the path of the text filefile_path = "PWL.txt"# instantiating the enchant dictionary# with request_pwl_dict()pwl = enchant.request_pwl_dict(file_path)# checking whether the words are# in the new dictionaryprint(pwl.check("gfg")) |
Output :
True
Example 2: Adding new words to the PWL dictionary using add().
Python3
# import the enchant moduleimport enchant# the path of the text filefile_path = "PWL.txt"# printing the contents of the fileprint("File contents:")with open(file_path, 'r') as f: print(f.read())# instantiating the enchant dictionary# with request_pwl_dict()pwl = enchant.request_pwl_dict(file_path)# the word to be addednew_word = "asd"# checking whether the word is# in the dictionaryif pwl.check(new_word): print("\nThe word "+ new_word + " exists in the dictionary")else: print("\nThe word "+ new_word + " does not exists in the dictionary")# adding the word to the dictionary# using add()pwl.add("asd")# printing the contents of the file# after adding the new wordprint("\nFile contents:")with open(file_path, 'r') as f: print(f.read())# checking for whether the word is# in the dictionaryif pwl.check(new_word): print("The word "+ new_word + " exists in the dictionary")else: print("The word "+ new_word + " does not exists in the dictionary") |
Output :
File contents: qwerty jabba gfg The word asd does not exists in the dictionary File contents: qwerty jabba gfg asd The word asd exists in the dictionary
