I am a beginner, and tried to install PyDictionary with pip. It installed, but I had the same issue as this thread - it did not work: How to get rid of the BeautifulSoup html parser error when I'm not using BeautifulSoup Someone on here suggested installing if directly from the GitHub repo, but I'm not sure which file to download and what to do next.

UPDATE 1

I've updated pip, and used:
python3 -m pip install PyDictionary
(I needed python3 for some reason). I then used this program: 

from PyDictionary import PyDictionary 
dictionary = PyDictionary() 
print (dictionary.synonym("Life"))

But got:

Warning (from warnings module): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyDictionary/utils.py", line 5 return BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).text) UserWarning: No parser was explicitly specified, so I'm using the best available HTML parser for this system ("lxml"). This usually isn't a problem, but if you run this code on another system, or in a different virtual environment, it may use a different parser and behave differently.

The code that caused this warning is on line 5 of the file /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/PyDictionary/utils.py.

To get rid of this warning, pass the additional argument 'features="lxml"' to the BeautifulSoup constructor. Life has no Synonyms in the API None –

UPDATE 2

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/geekpradd/PyDictionary

returns:

You can normally install directly using the github repos with 

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/geekpradd/PyDictionary

But this repository has no setup.py file that's why it fails. To me it's more likely a problem with conflicting python versions, so: 

python3 -m pip install PyDictionary

Is enough

  • @Adam update your question accordingly, it's a little bit messy to put it in the comments – RMPR Feb 19 '20 at 13:06
  • @Adam Regarding your first edit, it seems that `pydictionary` is now installed, the issue is more likely with the internals of the library, so open an [issue on the repository](https://github.com/geekpradd/PyDictionary/issues) the command to install directly with the github repository doesn't work because the project has no setup.py, so I'll update my answer accordingly, don't forget to mark the answer as valid. – RMPR Feb 20 '20 at 14:15
  • Thank you - ill do that – Adam Feb 24 '20 at 14:15

See VCS, from the pip docs

pip currently supports cloning over git, git+http, git+https, git+ssh, git+git and git+file:

Here are the supported forms:

git://git.example.com/MyProject#egg=MyProject git+http://git.example.com/MyProject#egg=MyProject git+https://git.example.com/MyProject#egg=MyProject git+ssh://git.example.com/MyProject#egg=MyProject git+git://git.example.com/MyProject#egg=MyProject git+file:///home/user/projects/MyProject#egg=MyProject
