Tethne is a Python package for integrated bibliographic and corpus analysis developed by the Digital Innovation Group at Arizona State University. Tethne provides simple tools for generating networks from bibliographic datasets, and provides a framework for weaving together techniques from scientometrics, computational linguistics, topic modeling, and social influence modeling. Rather than reinvent or re-implement existing algorithms, Tethne is designed to interface with existing software packages, and to provide mechanisms for drawing the results and functionalities of those packages together.
We now have a Google group for Tethne users: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/tethne-users
For more information, see the Tethne website.
The documentation project (ReST sources, etc.) can be found in tethne-docs
.

tests
, where
they belong.Ensure that all of your tests are passing. We use nose. Test with:
$ nosetests --with-coverage --cover-package=tethne --cover-min-percentage=95
Check for code cleanliness! Code should conform to PEP 0008. We use Pylint. For example:
$ pylint tethne/mycontribution.py
diging/develop
as the base branch.These should be installed automatically when you install Tethne, but just in case they aren't:
networkx>=1.8.1
Unidecode>=0.04.16
iso8601
rdflib
v0.7 was a nearly ground-up refactor, resulting in a more modular and testable codebase and a simplified API. Here are some of the most notable changes:
Corpus
