Wn is a Python library for exploring information in wordnets.
Installation
Install it from PyPI using pip:
pip install wn

Or install using conda from the conda-forge channel
(conda-forge/wn-feedstock):
conda install -c conda-forge wn

Getting Started
First, download some data:
python -m wn download oewn:2023 # the Open # English WordNet 2023

Now start exploring:
>>> import wn
>>> en = wn.Wordnet('oewn:2023') # Create Wordnet object to query
>>> ss = en.synsets('win', pos='v')[0] # Get the first synset for 'win'
>>> ss.definition() # Get the synset's definition
'be the winner in a contest or competition; be victorious'

Features

Multilingual by design; first-class support for wordnets in any language
Interlingual queries via the Collaborative Interlingual Index
Six similarity metrics
Functions for exploring taxonomies
Support for lemmatization (Morphy for English is built-in) and unicode normalization
Full support of the WN-LMF 1.1 format, including word pronunciations and lexicon extensions
SQL-based backend offers very fast startup and improved performance on many kinds of queries

Available Wordnets
Any WN-LMF-formatted wordnet can be added to Wn's database from a local
file or remote URL, but Wn also maintains an index (see
wn/index.toml)
of available projects, similar to a package manager for software, to aid
in the discovery and downloading of new wordnets. The projects in this
index are listed below.
English Wordnets
There are several English wordnets available. In general it is
recommended to use the latest Open English Wordnet, but if you have
stricter compatibility needs for, e.g., experiment replicability, you
may try the OMW English Wordnet based on WordNet 3.0 (compatible with
the Princeton WordNet 3.0 and with the NLTK), or OpenWordnet-EN (for
use with the Portuguese wordnet OpenWordnet-PT).

Collaborative Interlingual Index
While not a wordnet, the Collaborative Interlingual Index (CILI)
represents the interlingual backbone of many wordnets. Wn, including
interlingual queries, will function without CILI loaded, but adding it
to the database makes available the full list of concepts, their status
(active, deprecated, etc.), and their definitions.

Changes to the Index
ewn → oewn
The 2021 version of the Open English WordNet (oewn:2021) has
changed its lexicon ID from ewn to oewn, so the index is updated
accordingly. The previous versions are still available as ewn:2019
and ewn:2020.
pwn → omw-en, omw-en31
The wordnet formerly called the Princeton WordNet (pwn:3.0,
pwn:3.1) is now called the OMW English Wordnet based on WordNet
3.0 (omw-en) and the OMW English Wordnet based on WordNet 3.1
(omw-en31). This is more accurate, as it is a OMW-produced
derivative of the original WordNet data, and it also avoids license or
trademark issues.
*wn → omw-* for OMW wordnets
All OMW wordnets have changed their ID scheme from ...wn to omw-.. and the version no longer
includes +omw (e.g., bulwn:1.3+omw is now omw-bg:1.4).
