I wouldn't mind finding out about such packages, either. I see that NLTK offers a few options, with the following tokeniser being interesting if you don't mind training the software: http://nltk.org/doc/guides/tokenize.html#punkt-tokenizer There was also discussion of this topic on Ned Batchelder's blog a while back: http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200804/separating_sentences.html My comment on there (that I'm using a regular expression with some postprocessing) still stands.
