[ANN] inflect.py: generate plurals, ordinals, numbers to words...

[Paul]

I'm pleased to announce the release of inflect.py v0.1.8, a module that correctly generates:

* the plural of singular nouns and verbs
* the singular of plural nouns
* ordinals
* indefinite articles
* present participles
* and converts numbers to words

Examples:

>>> import inflect
>>> p = inflect.engine()
>>> p.pl('cat')
'cats'
>>> p.pl('sheep')
'sheep'
>>> p.pl('bacterium')
'bacteria'

plural of singular verbs: it walks -> they walk
>>> p.pl('walks')
'walk'

singular of plural nouns:
>>> p.sinoun('bacteria')
'bacterium'
>>> p.sinoun('knives')
'knife'

ordinals:
>>> p.ordinal(31)
'31st'
>>> p.ordinal('twenty-five')
'twenty-fifth'

indefinite articles:
>>> p.a('horse')
'a horse'
>>> p.a('ant')
'an ant'
>>> p.a('hour')
'an hour'

present participles:
>>> p.prespart('drinks')

'drinking'


>>> p.prespart('runs')
'running'
>>> p.prespart('flies')
'flying'

numbers to words:
>>> p.numwords(1234567)
'one million, two hundred and thirty-four thousand, five hundred and sixty-seven'
