PyDictionary module in Python

PyDictionary is a Python module used to fetch word definitions, synonyms, antonyms and translations. It provides a simple interface to access these features from Python programs.

Note: The original PyDictionary may not work reliably with Python 3. A modified alternative called AyDictionary is available, which is more compatible with Python 3.

Installation

You can install PyDictionary using pip:

pip install PyDictionary

Getting Started with PyDictionary
