No handlers could be found for logger "polyglot.detect.base"

[loretoparisi]

I wrote this simple script that takes a source file and transliterate it into the target file specified from the arguments:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import io
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

from polyglot.text import Text
args = sys.argv[1:]

with io.open(args[0], 'r', encoding='utf-8') as infile:
    with io.open(args[1], 'w', encoding='utf-8') as outfile:
        target=''
        for line in infile:
            text = Text(line)
            for word in text.transliterate("en"):
                target += word + " "
            target += "\n"
        outfile.write(target)

so you will use it like python transliterate.py source.txt target.txt. When I run it I get a warning

No handlers could be found for logger "polyglot.detect.base"

and the transliteration works ok. In this case the input file was Tamil and I have downloaded the models:

polyglot download embeddings2.ta  transliteration2.ta
