Interface not working?

[zachwhalen]

Hi,

I was just trying to get this running and I found a couple of issues. It is possible that these are not endemic to the code but rather a consequence of some external idiosyncracies, but I will share nonetheless.

First, install through pip didn't seem to download the data from Corpora. So pycorpora.get_categories() just returned the test data.

However, installing manually with setup.py and the appropriate --corpora-zip-url worked fine.

Similarly, once imported, pycorpora didn't respond with methods(?) following the various categories; instead I had to pull the file individually

In this case, I wanted some first names. This didn't work (AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'humans'):
names = pycorpora.humans.firstnames["firstNames"]

But this did:
pycorpora.get_file("humans","firstnames")['firstNames']

On balance, this is still far more convenient than downloading and parsing it all myself, so I provide this in case it helps someone else with similar problems in the future.

Both are working for me with Python 2.7.14 and Python 3.6.3 on macOS High Sierra, using this pip command from the README.

Python 3

I wonder what's different for you? I did pip install -U pip setuptools wheel first for both, it might be worth trying that.

Well, that worked. Huh.
