What this project does

This project lets you use Google's SyntaxNet (AKA Parsey McParseface) from python code and without hours of installing and training models.

How to run the parser

import pyparseface

parsed_sentence_dict = pyparseface.parse_sentence(
  "Maybe there was once a human who looked like you, and somewhere along the "
  "line you killed him and took his place. And your superiors don't know.")
print("OrderedDict: %s\n" % parsed_sentence_dict)
pyparseface.pretty_print_dict(parsed_sentence_dict)

Output
