Nostril (Nonsense String Evaluator) is a Python 3 module that can infer whether a given word or text string is likely to be nonsense or meaningful text. A "meaningful" string of characters is one constructed from real or real-looking English words or fragments of real words (even if the words are runtogetherlikethis). The main use case is to decide whether short strings returned by source code mining methods are likely to be program identifiers (of classes, functions, variables, etc.), or random or other non-identifier strings.

This is the first complete release of Nostril. The top-level README.md file contains instructions on how to install the software and how to use it. The docs/explanations directory contains additional information that may be useful for people who would like to retrain or modify Nostril.
