Enchant is a module in python which is used to check the spelling of a word, gives suggestions to correct words. Also, gives antonym and synonym of words. It checks whether a word exists in dictionary or not.
enchant.request_dict()
enchant.request_dict() is an inbuilt method of enchant module. It is used to get a dictionary object for a specific language.
Syntax : enchant.request_dict(tag) Parameter : tag : code of the language Returns : a Dict object
Example 1 :
Python3
# import the enchant moduleimport enchant# dictionary of en_USd = enchant.request_dict("en_US")# the dictionary tagtag = d.tagprint("The dictionary tag is " + tag) |
The dictionary tag is en_US
Example 2 : When the enchant.request_dict() method is executed without passing any parameter in it, it by default takes the code of the language of the local machine.
Python3
# import the enchant moduleimport enchant# instantiating the dictionary # without passing any parameterd = enchant.request_dict()# finding the dictionary tagtag = d.tagprint("The dictionary tag is " + tag) |
The dictionary tag is en_IN
Example 3 : The enchant.request_dict() method may fail if the appropriate dictionary is not available. In that case the following message is printed:
Python3
enchant.request_dict() |
