You'll need to write a bit of code to load the plain text with open(...).read() and feed it into the library.

I tried feeding a text file to the library..but it is just returning the same text again..

I used the below code..

f = open('C:/Users/test.txt')
file= f.read()
import summarize
print(summarize.summarize_text(file))

Any text file or HTML document shpuld be usable, though it's been a while since I've looked at the source for this project. Depending on how your document is formatted, the automatic paragraph detection might get screwed up, it's pretty basic and gets confused by e.g. unusual newline placement or websites that wrap every sentence in a paragraph tag. If you know a bit of Python I'd suggest just modifying the library to get it to work with your document, the code is pretty simple and I don't really actively update this project (it does what I needed it to do).

So the following code is enough right: f = open('C:/Users/test.txt') file= f.read() import summarize print(summarize.summarize_text(file)) On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 4:37 PM Jonathon Vogel <notifications@github.com> wrote:
