Autocorrect a column in a pandas dataframe using pyenchant

Question

I tried to apply the code from the accepted answer of this question to one of my dataframe columns where each row is a sentence, but it didn't work.

My code looks this:

from enchant.checker import SpellChecker
checker = SpellChecker("id_ID")

h = df['Jawaban'].astype(str).str.lower()
hayo = []


for text in h:
    checker.set_text(text)

    for s in checker:
        sug = s.suggest()[0]
        s.replace(sug)

    hayo.append(checker.get_text())

I got this following error:

IndexError: list index out of range

Any help is greatly appreciated.

checker is the alias name of pyenchant ? – YOLO Mar 20 '18 at 19:37 — YOLO, Mar 20 '18 at 19:37
Yes! Just edited my code to include the import statement – Tata Mar 20 '18 at 19:41 — Tata, Mar 20 '18 at 19:41

I don't get the error using your code. The only thing I'm doing differently is to import the spell checker.

from enchant.checker import SpellChecker
checker = SpellChecker('en_US','en_UK') # not using id_ID

# sample data
ds = pd.DataFrame({ 'text': ['here is a spllng mstke','the wrld is grwng']})
p = ds['text'].str.lower()

hayo = []

for text in p:
    checker.set_text(text)

    for s in checker:
        sug = s.suggest()[0]
        s.replace(sug)

    print(checker.get_text())
    hayo.append(checker.get_text())

print(hayo)

here is a spelling mistake

Now that's incredibly weird...... My error is at the s.suggest()[0] part. Anothe weird thing is, if I don't try to append and simply print the whole thing, I won't get the error – Tata Mar 20 '18 at 20:58

i just tried it and it worked. i don't know what's wrong but if i don't print the result it will throw me an error so i guess the way to do it to always print in the end. thank you btw! – Tata Mar 21 '18 at 09:13
