The only way to make it works is to modify the code, for correct pointing to the correct hyphen dictionaries path and files.
Specifically, in config.py, you should modify 1: default_dict_path = u'$path' -> default_dict_path = u'/usr/share/hyphen' basically the correct path pointing to the directory where hyphen dictionaries are and in __init__.py 129: else: file_name = language -> else: file_name = u'/hyph_' + language + u'.dic' If you want, I can provide you a patch to solve the problem in the package. I don't know if this is an upstream problem, as every OS handles differently the directories where hyphen dictionaries are stored and it is not said that environment variables, first of all, contain such a path, and secondly, are the same in every OS.
