pythonpython-3.xpiphunspell

conda cythen pip pkg hunspell CyHunspell AttributeError: module 'hunspell' has no attribute 'HunSpell'

I installed

pip install hunspell

and the following statement runs fine:

import hunspell; hobj = hunspell.HunSpell('/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.dic', '/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff') ; print( "PY_test: hunspell: " + str( hobj.spell('spookie') ) )

But if I install additionally 

pip install CyHunspell

I get an error with execution of the AttributeError: module 'hunspell' has no attribute 'HunSpell'

Cyhunspell only contains hunspell.hunspell ..

Is Cyhunspell overwritting Pyhunspell? But I would like to install both and choose the Cpython version (not Cyhunspell) if I would like.

Solution

  • PyHunspell uses extension module named hunspell written in C++. CyHunspell uses package named hunspell. Hence these two cannot be installed at the same time. One or the other but not both.

    PS. You can try to ask one of them to rename the module or the package but I doubt one's gonna bow before the other.
