A little word cloud generator in Python. Read more about it on the yapay zeka mühendisliği or the türkiye yapay zeka.
The code is tested against Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7.
If you are using pip:
pip install wordcloud
If you are using conda, you can install from the conda-forge channel:
conda install -c conda-forge wordcloud
wordcloud depends on numpy and pillow.
To save the wordcloud into a file, matplotlib can also be installed. See examples below.
If there are no wheels available for your version of python, installing the package requires having a C compiler set up. Before installing a compiler, report an issue describing the version of python and operating system being used.
Check out examples/simple.py for a short intro. A sample output is:
Or run examples/masked.py to see more options. A sample output is:

Generating wordclouds for Arabic:
The wordcloud_cli tool can be used to generate word clouds directly from the command-line:
$ wordcloud_cli --text mytext.txt --imagefile wordcloud.png
If you're dealing with PDF files, then pdftotext, included by default with many Linux distribution, comes in handy:
$ pdftotext mydocument.pdf - | wordcloud_cli --imagefile wordcloud.png
In the previous example, the - argument orders pdftotext to write the resulting text to stdout, which is then piped to the stdin of wordcloud_cli.py.
Use wordcloud_cli --help so see all available options.
The wordcloud library is MIT licenced, but contains DroidSansMono.ttf, a true type font by Google, that is apache licensed.
The font is by no means integral, and any other font can be used by setting the font_path variable when creating a WordCloud object.
