#12
This issue link helped in the installation issue

How about switching the language-check dependency to language_tool_python (forked from language-check):

https://github.com/jxmorris12/language_tool_python
https://pypi.org/project/language-tool-python/

language-check doesn't seem to be maintained currently.

language_tool_python works for me while language-check fails to install because of that same regex parsing bug in how they are trying to determine your java version.

+1 to noelslice

It appears language-check has been abandoned... can you switch to language-tool-python?
myint/language-check#31

Can you modify your package yo work with language-tool-python instead of language-check?

Any updates on this? Happening to me on MacOS as well.

I have created a PR to fix this problem #19

If you find an LGPL language tool wrapper I would be open to changing this. By linking to that specific library it forces GPL on my code which I can't do as this library is used commercially by myself and others and that would enforce GPL on those projects.

[ian-beaver]

If I ever find time (or if someone else does) I may just fork language-check and patch the installer to detect newer Java versions. It would be an easy fix.

[grueneke]

@ian-beaver any chance you had the time to patch the installer to detect newer Java versions?

[MCFreddie777]

@ian-beaver The Java regex was already fixed for new versions in myint/language-check#57.

There is also newer problem with fetching LanguageTool from their web, which was already fixed in myint/language-check#79.

The only problem is, that language-check hasn't released new version since 2017.

Temporary workaround (install from forked & fixed repo):

# ssh
pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/MCFreddie777/language-check.git
# https
pip install git+https://github.com/MCFreddie777/language-check.git

and then

pip install pycontractions
