Detailed Description

A stream for reading HFST binary transducers.

An example:

 istr = hfst.HfstInputStream('testfile1.hfst')
 transducers = []
 while not (istr.is_eof()):
     transducers.append(istr.read())
 istr.close()
 print("Read %i transducers in total." % len(transducers))

For documentation on the HFST binary transducer format, see here.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def __init__	(		self,
			filename = None
	)

Create a stream for reading binary transducers.

Parameters

filename

The name of the transducer file. If not given, standard input is used.

Exceptions

StreamNotReadableException
NotTransducerStreamException
EndOfStreamException
TransducerHeaderException	istr_to_stdin = hfst.HfstInputStream() istr_to_file = hfst.HfstInputStream(filename='transducer.hfst')

Member Function Documentation

def close

(

)

Close the stream.

If the stream points to standard input, nothing is done.

def get_type

(

)

The type of the first transducer in the stream.

By default, all transducers in a stream have the same type, else a TransducerTypeMismatchException is thrown when reading the first transducer that has a different type than the previous ones.

def is_bad

(

)

Whether badbit is set.

def is_eof

(

)

Whether the stream is at end.

def is_good

(

)

Whether the state of the stream is good for input operations.

def read

(

)

Return next transducer.

Exceptions

EndOfStreamException
