Apertium APy, **Apertium A**PI in **Py**thon, is a web server exposing Apertium
morphological functions including text, document and webpage translation. More
information is available on the [Apertium Wiki][1].

Requirements
------------

- Python 3.4+
- Tornado 4.3+ (`python3-tornado` on Debian)

Additional functionality is provided by installation
of the following packages:

- `apertium-streamparser` enables spell checking
- `requests` enables suggestion handling
- `chromium_compact_language_detector` enables improved language detection (cld2)
- `chardet` enables website character encoding detection

Precise versions are available in `requirements.txt` and `setup.py`.

Installation
------------

Before you install, you can try out a live version of APy at [apertium.org][2].

APy is available through [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/apertium-apy/):

Contributing
------------

APy uses [TravisCI][3] for continous integration. Locally, use `make test`
to run the same checks it does. Use `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt`
to install the requirements required for development, e.g. linters.
