langinfo

Python library for interfacing the Glottolog database

Installing

python3 setup.py install --user

Usage

The API is quite simple, please see relatives.py for an example of how to use it.

Regenerating the database

This repository contains a pickled version of the database for convenience. To regenerate the database, do the following:

cd langinfo/data
./download.sh
cd ../..
python3 cache.py

All data comes from the Glottolog project, so any credit for the actual data goes to them.
