Make corpus data available to other programming languages

[gunthercox]

Because the data files in the chatterbot corpus are not Python specific, it should be possible to add packaging for other programming languages as well. I would be interested in experimenting to see how successfully this could be accomplished with a language such as Node JS.

There are questions in the Corpus that ask about the language the bot is built in. To accomplish this, it would probably be smart to remove those questions.

I am trying to use NLTK Data It is quite good and very easy to use, I think could be an option to implement in chatterbot https://github.com/nltk/nltk/wiki/Adding-a-Corpus

I'm going to close this ticket off for now. Contributions and pull requests are welcome but this isn't going to be something I am focusing on right now.

@gunthercox One question, Our corpus is like statements and response, if we have implemented it looks something like this, or any other methods are you looking?

from chatterbot.corpus.english import ai
print(", ".join(ai.words()))

@vkosuri, I do like that format and I've though about implementing something to allow it to be imported that way. I agree that it would be useful.
