Documentation for pronouncing
Pronouncing is a simple interface for the
CMU Pronouncing Dictionary
. The library is designed to be
easy to use, and has no external dependencies. For example, here’s all you need
to do in order to find rhymes for a given word:
>>> import pronouncing
>>> pronouncing.rhymes("climbing")
['diming', 'liming', 'priming', 'rhyming', 'timing']

I made this library because I wanted to be able to use the CMU Pronouncing
Dictionary in my projects without having to install the grand behemoth that is
NLTK. It’s designed to be friendly to beginner programmers who want to get
started with creative language generation and analysis, and for experts who
want to make quick prototypes of projects that deal with English pronunciation.

pip install pronouncing
