Can anyone point me to a downloadable open source English dictionary
suitable for programmatic use with python: I'm programming a puzzle
generator, and I need to be able to generate more or less complete
lists of English words, alphabetized. Thanks! DG

On Linux? WordNet and Dict and many others.
On Windows, maybe try WordWeb?

Sorry, didn't know it would make a difference: on Mac, actually.

www.puzzlers.org has numerous word lists & dictionarys in text
format that can be downloaded. I recommend you insert them into
some form of database. I have most of them in an Access db and
it's 95 MB. That's a worse case as I also have some value-added
stuff, the OSPD alone would be a lot smaller.

Sorry for my ignorance: I can query an Access DB w/ standard SQL
queries (and this is how I would access it w/ Python)?

If all you want are the words themselves, then any linux box
has a fairly complete list. I put mine here: http://tobiah.org/words.zip
