PyPLN

PyPLN is a distributed pipeline for natural language processing, made in Python.

PyPLN.Web is the PyPLN's interface to the world: you use it as an HTTP REST API.

Using

You can start by looking at our quickstart guide.

Installing

To install dependencies (on a Debian-like GNU/Linux distribution), execute:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools mongodb
pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv pypln.web
pip install -r requirements/production.txt
cp pypln/web/settings.ini{.sample,}

Developing

To run all tests, you'll need the elasticsearch server running. You can find detailed instructions for your platform in their documentation. After that, you can just run:

workon pypln.web
pip install -r requirements/development.txt
python manage.py test --settings=pypln.web.settings.test

To run the development webserver:

workon pypln.web
python manage.py runserver --settings=pypln.web.settings.development

If your repository is inside the virtualenv directory, there are some helpers:

source contrib/postactivate # load the helper functions
manage_test test # `manage_test` will run any comand (`test` in this case)
                 # with the test settings.
manage_dev runserver # `manage_dev` is similar, but uses the development
                     # settings
