Add new models or languages through extensions. Also, it comes with a WordNet integration. If you only intend to use TextBlob’s default models (no model overrides), you can pass the lite argument. This downloads only those corpora needed for basic functionality. TextBlob is also available as a conda package.

Bundles Portable Python (with PyGTK) and Meld together in an easy to use installer. This allows you to not have to worry about setting up Python or PyGTK and you can keep Meld's Python separate from other Python installations on your machine. ** NOTE ** Meld 3.11 and later now have official installers, hence this project is no longer supported. You can download the new installer here: https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/meld/. You should uninstall the old 1.8 version before upgrading.

A Python port of the Apache Tika library that makes Tika available using the Tika REST Server. This makes Apache Tika available as a Python library, installable via Setuptools, Pip and easy to install. To use this library, you need to have Java 7+ installed on your system as tika-python starts up the Tika REST server in the background. To get this working in a disconnected environment, download a tika server file (both tika-server.jar and tika-server.jar.md5, which can be found here) and set the TIKA_SERVER_JAR environment variable to TIKA_SERVER_JAR="file:////tika-server.jar" which successfully tells python-tika to "download" this file and move it to /tmp/tika-server.jar and run as a background process. This is the only way to run python-tika without internet access. Without this set, the default is to check the tika version and pull latest every time from Apache.
