Hi, a couple of weeks ago I uploaded PyHyphen-0.1 on the PyPI. It is a wrapper around the C library "hnj_hyphen 2.3" that ships with OpenOffice and Mozilla products. You can have a look at PyHyphen at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyHyphen/0.2.1a I've tested it on Linux, but it should also run on Windows (for which I have no C compiler and I think I won't get one as I am using W2K). What PyHyphen can do is shown in the code example on the module's cover page on PyPI. Unlike a wrapper module called 'pyhnj' written by someone from Berkeley, PyHyphen supports non-standard hyphenation with replacements. It is therefore suitable for all languages. It also accepts unicode objects. There are no inherent limitations, let alone the max. length of words = 100. Just download a hyphenation dictionary for your favorite language at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries or use the included English one, ... and enjoy! The 10 line 'example.py' included in the tarball shows how it works. There are no doc strings yet (but a README), and the C source of the wrapper module 'hyphenmodule.c' is lenthier than desirable. I will work on this as soon as I can. For now I am not aware of any major bugs though. My next plans are as follows: - shorten and polish the C code - add short doc strings - add search paths for the dictionaries - add a 'wrap' method to the convenience interface that selects the best hyphenation (among a tuple of pairs) to fit in the current line - modify the 'textwrap' module from the Standard Library to use hyphenation instead of just pushing entire words into the next line Any feedback or help, preferrably by e-mail ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is highly welcome. I won't read the postings here regularly. Have fun! Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
