TextBlob: Simplified Text Processing

Homepage: https://textblob.readthedocs.io/

TextBlob is a Python library for processing textual data. It provides a simple API for diving into common natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as part-of-speech tagging, noun phrase extraction, sentiment analysis, classification, and more.

from textblob import TextBlob

text = """ The titular threat of The Blob has always struck me as the ultimate movie monster: an insatiably hungry, amoeba-like mass able to penetrate virtually any safeguard, capable of--as a doomed doctor chillingly describes it--"assimilating flesh on contact. Snide comparisons to gelatin be damned, it's a concept with the most devastating of potential consequences, not unlike the grey goo scenario proposed by technological theorists fearful of artificial intelligence run rampant. """

blob = TextBlob(text) blob.tags # [('The', 'DT'), ('titular', 'JJ'),

('threat', 'NN'), ('of', 'IN'), ...]

blob.noun_phrases # WordList(['titular threat', 'blob',

'ultimate movie monster',

'amoeba-like mass', ...])
