ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'enchant' #8

I get this error on trying to use the module:

>>> import splitter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

▶ pip install pyenchant

does seem to fix it, if this is a dependency can that be made more explicit? I had to google around to find why pip install enchant actually is now pyenchant

but it seems pyenchant is not maintained, I came across hunspell as an alternative which is used by chrome, so should be maintained.

although elsewhere I've used SpellChecker

Thanks for reporting this. I think it makes sense to switch.
