enchant:  Access to the enchant spellchecking library
=====================================================

This module provides several classes for performing spell checking
via the Enchant spellchecking library.  For more details on Enchant,
visit the project website:

    http://www.abisource.com/enchant/

Spellchecking is performed using 'Dict' objects, which represent
a language dictionary.  Their use is best demonstrated by a quick
example::

    >>> import enchant
    >>> d = enchant.Dict("en_US")   # create dictionary for US English
    >>> d.check("enchant")
    True
    >>> d.check("enchnt")
    False
    >>> d.suggest("enchnt")
    ['enchant', 'enchants', 'enchanter', 'penchant', 'incant', 'enchain', 'enchanted']

Languages are identified by standard string tags such as "en" (English)
and "fr" (French).  Specific language dialects can be specified by
including an additional code - for example, "en_AU" refers to Australian
English.  The later form is preferred as it is more widely supported.

To check whether a dictionary exists for a given language, the function
'dict_exists' is available.  Dictionaries may also be created using the
function 'request_dict'.

A finer degree of control over the dictionaries and how they are created
can be obtained using one or more 'Broker' objects.  These objects are
responsible for locating dictionaries for a specific language.
    
In Python 2.x, unicode strings are supported transparently in the
standard manner - if a unicode string is given as an argument, the
result will be a unicode string. Note that Enchant works in UTF-8 
internally, so passing an ASCII string to a dictionary for a language
requiring Unicode may result in UTF-8 strings being returned.

In Python 3.x unicode strings are expected throughout.  Bytestrings
should not be passed into any functions.

Errors that occur in this module are reported by raising subclasses
of 'Error'.
