* Package name : python3-streamparser Version : 4.0.2 Upstream Author : Sushain K. Cherivirala and Kevin Brubeck Unhammer <unhammer+apert...@mm.st> * URL : https://github.com/apertium/streamparser * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Python library to parse Apertium stream format This is a Python 3 library for parsing (converting to Python data structure) text in Apertium stream format [1]. This library is useful for people developing Apertium (Apertium is a machine translation engine that is already in Debian) language pairs in case if they want to do python scripts for automating their workflow (finding unknown words from morphological analyser, etc.), also people can build new applications for quite variety of purposes, e.g. for research on natural language processing. I have used personally streamparser for automatic Constraint Grammar generation: https://github.com/Putti/autocg. To my best knowledge there is no other similar library for Python (that is at least this good quality, some hacks might be lying around in the Apertium project's repository). I haven't submitted any packages to Debian archive before and I'm still learning packaging. I have started the packing work already, it's here: <https://svn.code.sf.net/p/apertium/svn/branches/packaging/external/streamparser/debian/>. I'm reading the new maintainer guide and policies at the moment so it still might take some days or weeks to get the package in a good shape. This package, when ready, needs a sponsor. Kartik Mistry has handled other Apertium related packages before so maybe he/she would be willing to take on this package (I haven't asked Kartik yet).
