Better langNames default #107

Open sushain97 opened 6 years ago

sushain97 commented 6 years ago

Right now, we get a default of langNames.db. However, a pip install or Debian install as well now will put it inside /usr/local/share/apertium-apy. We should use pkg_resources to guess the correct path (and continue supporting running directly from source). Until then, users will just have to feed it the correct path.

From .deb and .rpm, that would be /usr/share/apertium-apy without local/

sushain97 commented 6 years ago

Hopefully pkg_resources is smart enough to give me the right path. It claims to be.

sushain97 commented 5 years ago

This issue is about simply choosing a better default here: https://github.com/apertium/apertium-apy/blob/master/apertium_apy/apy.py#L185. (only if the pkg_resources library is available).

ayushjainrksh commented 5 years ago

So when a user does pip install on linux, it should automatically feed path to langNames.db?

sushain97 commented 5 years ago

Ideally, yes. I think there's a function in pkg_resources that purports to take an installed file and give you the system's actual path.

ayushjainrksh commented 5 years ago

So what I need to do is set 'default' to some other path instead of langNames.db

ayushjainrksh commented 5 years ago

What is the function of parse_argument()? How does it work

sushain97 commented 5 years ago

The Python docs cover that.

ayushjainrksh commented 5 years ago

Okay I will go through them
