[Yeah, this is old.  Sue me.]

This person wanted some text to explain the difference between the
Vaults of Parnassus and PyPI, so I asked him to write some.  Could
someone approve or edit this?  If any of you have access to python.org,
go ahead and make the modification directly; otherwise, send the
completed draft back to webmaster@python.org (I've already set Reply-To
for this message).

Subject: [Catalog-sig] How to create a NLP system in python
Message-ID: <Law14-OE55irM4sGylc00004ce4@hotmail.com>

Hello, 

My first time on this site and using python. I am trying to write a program with a GUI, that takes a simple sentence, translates it into an SQL query and returns a response to the user.

I am told I need a parser and some meaning representation language. As I said I am new to python, and I don't know where to begin. I would be greateful for some very simple GUI code to practice with, before attempting language interpretation. 

Grateful for any help out there, 

Thanks for your time. 

A.T.
