Version 1.0
This is the 1.0 release of mecab-python3, and it comes with a few exciting changes.
- Windows wheels are finally available #31
- Unidic can be installed via pip #38
- Spaces in Tagger arguments are supported #43
- Command-line scripts are included
This means that on any platform you should be able to install a working MeCab and dictionary with just pip install mecab-python3[unidic-lite]
. You can then use mecab-py
on the command line just like you'd use the mecab
binary.
One change that can break existing library usages is that the bundled IPAdic has been removed. If you need IPAdic you'll need to install it from source.
If you have any trouble with the new release please don't hesitate to open an issue. There is currently an unconfirmed report that it doesn't work on Conda on Windows (#46), but with more information we should be able to fix that if it's actually a problem.
Thanks for using this package, and happy tokenizing.
