This python script was posted to another list to which I subscribe. It should hyphenate a single word (passed on the command line) according to the usage given on dictionary.com. You might use this as the basis for a larger script which could return the hyphenation rules for an entire paragraph. import sys, urllib, re word = sys.argv[1] url = "http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q="; + word f = urllib.urlopen(url) page = f.read() f.close() all = re.findall(r"<[bB]>(.+?·.+?)</[bB]>", page) for t in all: print re.sub(r"<IMG.+?>|·", "-", t).rstrip(",") _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
