[Parley-devel] Re: Practice Sentence idea

[alsaf]

Just to give an update on the status of the Sentence Generator project I 
had mentioned.

It generates simple sentences and I've added functionality that allows 
for complex sentences in the sense of ones that require grammar/spelling 
rules specific to the target language to be learned.

The bad news is that I had originally planned a use a XML type system to 
create these rules but unfortunately that was too complex to code and 
would be too complex to create rules. The solution I went for was just 
to code the functionality into the program. As these rules involve 
string manipulation I have created an API of function to make coding of 
these rules easier to code and make the only requirement for anybody to 
do this is a basic understanding of the Python programming language.

The project is far from complete as at the moment it is CLI driven and I 
intend to put a GUI on top of it. The most important thing however, is 
that I need to complete documentation as the generator has a pretty high 
learning curve. I have included a sample kvtml file and put in error 
checking into the program which should help with error messages produced.
