How to modify segmentation rules by hand?

[anferico]

I have the following piece of text which I feed to pysbd.Segmenter:

'Trying to get back to Com. & Adm. through the most direct path in the dark.'

The correct way of handling this text is to keep it as a single sentence, although the segment() method returns:

['Trying to get back to Com.',
 '& Adm.',
 'through the most direct path in the dark.']

How do I tell the segmenter to avoid splitting a sentence at specific abbreviations, in this case "Com." and "Adm"? The poster in the README file states that rules are "easy to modify", so how do I do that?

You would need to tweak Abbreviation class and populate your keywords within it.

Same question here, does anyone knows how to add the rule to Abbreviation?
