Subject: Hack for wordnet.py

Many Thanks for your wordnet.py. Very cool.

I made a little hack to extractVerbFrames (ver 1.2)
which you
may/may not be interested in (a BASE change to
atoi in
one spot .... see bottom).

I got into problems when I started playing with
forms like:

wordnet.V['love]

I got a traceback:

File "wordnet.py", line 290, in senses
self._senses = tuple(map(getSense,
self._synsetOffsets))
File "wordnet.py", line 289, in getSense
return getSynset(pos, offset)[form]
File "wordnet.py", line 1022, in getSynset
return _dictionaryFor(pos).getSynset(offset)
File "wordnet.py", line 788, in getSynset
return _entityCache.get((pos, offset), loader)
File "wordnet.py", line 1221, in get
value = loadfn and loadfn()
File "wordnet.py", line 787, in loader
return Synset(pos, offset, _lineAt(dataFile,
offset))
File "wordnet.py", line 411, in __init__

senseVerbFrames.append(extractVerbFrames(ind
ex, vfTuples))
File "wordnet.py", line 407, in extractVerbFrames
return tuple(map(lambda t:string.atoi(t[1]),
filter(lambda t,i=index:string.atoi(t[2]) in (0, i),
vfTuples)))
File "wordnet.py", line 407, in <lambda>
return tuple(map(lambda t:string.atoi(t[1]),
filter(lambda t,i=index:string.atoi(t[2]) in (0, i),
vfTuples)))
ValueError: invalid literal for atoi(): 0e

So I checked things out and found what look like
hex codes:

data.verb:6284:00977560 35 v 17 love 0 make_out
0 make_love 0 sleep_with 0 get_laid 0 have_sex 0
know 0 do_it 0 be_intimate 0 have_intercourse 0
have_it_away 0 have_it_off 0 screw 4 fuck 0 jazz 0
eff 0 hump 0 lie_with 0 bed 0 have_a_go_at_it 0
bang 4 get_it_on 0 bonk 1 004 @ 00979316 v
0000 $ 00977352 v 0000 ~ 00978092 v 0000 ~
00978251 v 0000 05 + 02 00 + 09 12 + 09 11 + 09
0e + 09 0d | have sexual intercourse with; "This
student sleeps with everyone in her dorm"; "Adam
knew Eve" (know is archaic); "Were you ever
intimate with this man?"

And made the change. Seems to "work" but I'm
afraid
I didn't do much more analysis. Just wanted to get
it to work and move on.

best wishes & thanks

Thanks, I ran into the same problem looking for:
hyponyms(word)
where word was "act(v.)".

This patch solved the problem.

I just submitted a patch for the same problem (along with an
explanation from the wn documentation about why it should be
that way). I should have read the forum first. :-)
