NLTK Integrations

The core of extensible programming is defining functions. Python allows mandatory and optional arguments, keyword arguments, and even arbitrary argument lists. Whether you're new to programming or an experienced developer, it's easy to learn and use Python. Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first-time programmer or you're experienced with other languages. The following pages are a useful first step to get on your way to writing programs with Python! The community hosts conferences and meetups to collaborate on code, and much more. Python's documentation will help you along the way, and the mailing lists will keep you in touch. The Python Package Index (PyPI) hosts thousands of third-party modules for Python. Both Python's standard library and the community-contributed modules allow for endless possibilities.

TextBlob is a Python library for processing textual data, offering a simple API to perform common natural language processing tasks such as part-of-speech tagging, noun phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, and classification. It stands on the giant shoulders of NLTK and Pattern, and plays nicely with both. Key features include tokenization (splitting text into words and sentences), word and phrase frequencies, parsing, n-grams, word inflection (pluralization and singularization) lemmatization, spelling correction, and WordNet integration. TextBlob is compatible with Python versions 2.7 and above, and 3.5 and above. It is actively developed on GitHub and is licensed under the MIT License. Comprehensive documentation, including a quick start guide and tutorials, is available to assist users in implementing various NLP tasks.
