Hello Khalid Amin, I am afraid I'm not yet a professor, although hopefully one day! :-) I myself tend to use Java, given my programming background, however I do appreciate that Python is quite popular with NLP these days.
I've forwarded your question about using Python with the Quranic Arabic Corpus to the mail discussion list: http://www.mail-archive.com/comp-quran@comp.leeds.ac.uk Hopefully some one will get back to you, and also reply to the mailing list to let us know. One option is to download the data files from the Quranic Arabic Corpus download page: http://corpus.quran.com/download, and then write a simple python script to parse the data line-by-line (it should be straightforward if you just need basic word tags for example). Abdul-Baquee - I'm not sure, do you use Python to get access to the Quranic Arabic Corpus data?
