TextBlob: Simplified Text Processing

Homepage:

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, translation, 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', ...])

for sentence in blob.sentences:
    print(sentence.sentiment.polarity)
# 0.060
# -0.341

TextBlob stands on the giant shoulders of NLTK and pattern, and plays nicely with both.
