how to create english language dictionary application with python (django)?
- by sintaloo
Hi All,
I would like to create an online dictionary application by using python (or with django).
It will be similar to http://dictionary.reference.com/.
My question is
(1) Are there any existing open source python package or modules or application which implements this functionality that I can use or study from?
(2) If the answer to the first question is NO. which algorithm should I follow to create such web application? Can I simply use the python built-in dictionary object for this job? so that the dictionary object's key will be the english word and the value will be the explanation. is this OK in term of performance? OR Do I have to create my own Tree Object to speed up the search? or any existing package which handles this job properly?
Thank you very much.
