seallable.py: commands for checking syllable structure in datasets with SEA languages

[LinguList]

We have enough examples for this command in our datasets, but we should now make it usable for all datasets.

I have added the code, but I am not sure how to execute it to examine datasets. Can you @LinguList show me how to execute it?

[tresoldi]

@MacyL if you command works with a single dataset, you can add a

    # Require a dataset as argument for the command:
    add_dataset_spec(parser)

to your register() function. Later, in main() or wherever you prefer, you can do a ds = get_dataset(args) and you'll have the dataset in ds, so you do stuff like for row in ds.cldf_dir.read_csv("forms.csv", dicts=True) or read directly with the methods offered in ds (i.e., accessing tables and so on).

Remember to import from cldfbench.cli_util import add_catalog_spec, get_dataset and from pylexibank.cli_util import add_dataset_spec

@macyl, can I ask you to remind me next week, on Thursday, when I'll be mentally back, to look into this, I could then try to do it on the Friday?

For the time being, you can also write a custom script that just takes a dataset in lexibank as input, filters the wordlist, also with lingpy, and then looks into the segments. If you place this script in lexitools/examples/, you can already use it and we show later, how to integrate it into lexitools?
