In a pinch, I might use open("/usr/share/dict/words", "r") as a
thesaurus, and check for words in there. Read the file and create a
giant frozenset or something. For something a bit more civilized, I
expect that there's a python package interfacing at least one of
(ispell, aspell, hunspell, myspell) (and what they're all called.

There is a multitude of "English dictionaries". Some don't even include
"neighbour", imagine that!
