Description:

pyconcepticon 3.1.0

pyconcepticon
Tooling to access and curate Concepticon data.

Installation
pyconcepticon can be installed from PyPI running
pip install pyconcepticon

Note that pyconcepticon requires a clone or export of the concepticon data repository.
Usage
To use pyconcepticon you must have a local copy of the Concepticon data, i.e. either

the sources of a released version, as provided in the Downloads
section of a release, or
a clone of this repository (or your personal fork of it).
or a released version of the data as archived on ZENODO.

Python API
Assuming you have downloaded release 1.2.0
and unpacked the sources to a directory clld-concepticon-data-41d2bf0, you can access
the data as follows:
>>> from pyconcepticon import Concepticon
>>> api = Concepticon('clld-concepticon-data-41d2bf0')
>>> conceptlist = list(api.conceptlists.values())[0]
>>> conceptlist.author
'Perrin, Loïc-Michel'
>>> conceptlist.tags
['annotated']
>>> len(conceptlist.concepts)
110
>>> list(conceptlist.concepts.values())[0]

Command line interface
Having installed pyconcepticon, you can also directly query concept lists via the terminal command
concepticon. To learn about the functionality it provides run

[--repos-version REPOS_VERSION]
COMMAND ...

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log-level LOG_LEVEL
log level [ERROR|WARN|INFO|DEBUG] (default: 20)
--repos REPOS clone of concepticon/concepticon-data
--repos-version REPOS_VERSION
version of repository data. Requires a git clone!
(default: None)

available commands:
Run "COMAMND -h" to get help for a specific command.

COMMAND
attributes Print all columns in concept lists that contain
surplus information.
...

To learn about individual subcommands run concepticon COMMAND -h, e.g.
$ concepticon lookup -h
usage: concepticon lookup [-h]

Configuration
The Python API as well as the CLI can lookup the location of the data from a
cldfcatalog config file, under the key concepticon.
Such a config file (and the repository clone) can be created automatically,
by installing cldfbench and running
cldfbench config.
