How to break a paragraph to sentences in python?

3 New Member
Hi, please help to hence me how to break a pargraph to print line by line if it ends with coma, it is a phras, if it ends with period , it is a sentence. Thank you soo much in advance.

Andrea

For example:

text = "It's probably a great morning for a doughnut run in New York City, since you won't have to fight off the NYPD. Officers are already positioned at 21 different retailers to keep their eyes on the new iPhone 5. As part of "Operation ID," the cops are encouraging customers to engrave their new iAppendage with a unique NYC-prefaced serial number (at no cost), which will help identify the phone if it's lost or swiped."

I want to print :
Sentence 1:
phrase 1 = "It's probably a great morning for a doughnut run in New York City.
phrase 2 = since you won't have to fight off the NYPD

Sentence 2:
phrase 1 = Officers are already positioned at 21 different retailers to keep their eyes on the new iPhone 5...

You can use the split function.

I'm trying to do some debugging of python extensions on Windows2K. MS Visual Studio (.NET) says it can't find the debug version of the python libraries. (The message is "python.exe does not contain any debugging information".) I installed the binaries from the Windows installer. How should I get the debug libraries? Or is that even what I need? I'm kind of new to Windows, and Visual Studio in particular, so maybe I'm way off base. ...

I skimmed the tutorial and something alarmed me. "Strings are a powerful data type in Prothon. Unlike many languages, they can be of unlimited size (constrained only by memory size) and can hold any arbitrary data, even binary data such as photos and movies.They are of course also good for their traditional role of storing and manipulating text." This view of strings is about a decade out of date with modern programmimg practice. From...

I've noticed when exporting from Microsoft Word XP into an HTML file that Word uses a span style of mso-spacerun: yes. This has the effect of making there be about 2 spaces between sentences. So you will see a sentence and then the tag.<span style='mso-spacerun: yes'> </span>Well, this next sentence will occur two spaces later because there are two spaces in the span. How to do this without using MS's style? Is there some way to...

Hi, sorry for my ignorance, but after reading the Python tutorial on python.org, I'm sort of, well surprised about the lack of OOP capabilities in python. Honestly, I don't even see the point at all of how OO actually works in Python. For one, is there any good reason why I should ever inherit from a class? ^^ There is no functionality to check if a subclass correctly implements an inherited interface and polymorphism seems to be...

Well, it doesn't quite rule them all, but it is fast: About three times faster than using one function per state. Faster than using generators. Faster than using code objects. Some, possibly minor, problems: 1. The generated code is ugly. 2. The generated code can be quite large, depending on the shape of the FSM (Maximum theoretical size left as an exercise for the reader ;-) 3. Not as fast as byte code hacks, or using pyrex/psyco....

Hello all! I have a variable name "thelist" which is a list of 100,000 elements. I was wondering how I can make two new lists of the average value and standard deviation from this.

I am just having trouble breaking the initial list down. ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
