Do you really think you raise anyones interest by dumping two urls?!

Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn't think about it too much.

PyWordNet is a Python interface to the WordNet database of word meanings and lexical relationships (A lexical relationship is a relationship between words, such as synonym, antonym, hypernym  (“poodle” → “dog”), and hyponym (“poodle” → “dog”)).

PyWordNet presents a concise interface to WordNet, that allows the user to type expressions such as N['dog'], hyponyms(N['dog'][0]), and closure(ADJ['red'], SYNONYM) to query the database. 

>>> N['dog']
dog(n.)
>>> N['dog'].getSenses()
('dog' in {noun: dog, domestic dog, Canis familiaris},
 'dog' in {noun: frump, dog}, 'dog' in {noun: dog},
 'dog' in {noun: cad, bounder, blackguard, dog, hound, heel},
 'dog' in {noun: pawl, detent, click, dog},
 'dog' in {noun: andiron, firedog, dog, dogiron})

Ebuild for PyWordNet

I needed PyWordNet, so I wrote an ebuild. It works for me on x86.

Last release in 2004-07-19, upstream seems to be dead.
