Detailed Description

A class for reading input in AT&T text format and converting it into transducer(s).

An example that reads AT&T input from file 'testfile.att' where epsilon is represented as "<eps>" and creates the corresponding transducers and prints them. If the input cannot be parsed, a message showing the invalid line in AT&T input is printed and reading is stopped.

 with open('testfile.att', 'r') as f:
     try:
         r = hfst.AttReader(f, "<eps>")
         for tr in r:
             print(tr)
     except hfst.exceptions.NotValidAttFormatException as e:
         print(e.what())

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def __init__ (   self,
  f,
  epsilonstr = EPSILON 
)

Create an AttReader that reads input from file f where the epsilon is represented as epsilonstr.

Parameters
fA python file.
epsilonstrHow epsilon is represented in the file. By default, "@_EPSILON_SYMBOL_@" and "@0@" are both recognized.

Member Function Documentation

def __iter__ (   self)

An iterator to the reader.

Needed for 'for ... in' statement.

 for transducer in att_reader:
     print(transducer)
def __next__ (   self)

Return next element (for python version 3).

Needed for 'for ... in' statement.

 for transducer in att_reader:
     print(transducer)
Exceptions
StopIteration
def next (   self)

Return next element (for python version 2).

Needed for 'for ... in' statement.

 for transducer in att_reader:
     print(transducer)
Exceptions
StopIteration
def read (   self)

Read next transducer.

Read next transducer description in AT&T format and return a corresponding transducer.

Exceptions
hfst.exceptions.NotValidAttFormatException
hfst.exceptions.EndOfStreamException
