SentencePiece Python Wrapper

Python wrapper for SentencePiece. This API will offer the encoding, decoding and training of Sentencepiece.

Build and Install SentencePiece

For Linux (x64/i686), macOS, and Windows(win32/x64/arm64) environment, you can simply use pip command to install SentencePiece python module.

% pip install sentencepiece

To build and install the Python wrapper from source, try the following commands to build and install wheel package.

% git clone https://github.com/google/sentencepiece.git 
% cd sentencepiece
% mkdir build
% cd build
% cmake .. -DSPM_ENABLE_SHARED=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./root
% make install
% cd ../python
% python setup.py bdist_wheel
% pip install dist/sentencepiece*.whl

If you don’t have write permission to the global site-packages directory or don’t want to install into it, please try:

% python setup.py install --user

For Windows users who want to build from source, you can build and install the Python wrapper using Visual Studio. First, you need to install the pwsh.exe (Powershell 7). Use winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell --source winget to install directly. Then open the Developer PowerShell for VS 2022, and execute the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/google/sentencepiece.git
cd sentencepiece
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DSPM_ENABLE_SHARED=OFF -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=".\root" 
cmake --build . --config Release --target install
cd ../python
pip install wheel
python setup.py bdist_wheel
Get-ChildItem .\dist\sentencepiece*.whl | ForEach-Object { pip install $_.FullName }

Usage

See this google colab page to run sentencepiece interactively.

Model Training

Training is performed by passing parameters of spm_train to SentencePieceTrainer.train() function.

>>> import sentencepiece as spm
>>> spm.SentencePieceTrainer.train(input='test/botchan.txt', model_prefix='m', vocab_size=1000, user_defined_symbols=['foo', 'bar'])
sentencepiece_trainer.cc(73) LOG(INFO) Starts training with : 
trainer_spec {
  input: test/botchan.txt
  .. snip

Training without local filesystem

Sentencepiece trainer can receive any iterable object to feed training sentences. You can also pass a file object (instance with write() method) to emit the output model to any devices. These features are useful to run sentencepiece on environment that have limited access to the local file system (e.g., Google colab.)

import urllib.request
import io
import sentencepiece as spm

# Loads model from URL as iterator and stores the model to BytesIO.
model = io.BytesIO()
with urllib.request.urlopen(
    'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/sentencepiece/master/data/botchan.txt'
) as response:
  spm.SentencePieceTrainer.train(
      sentence_iterator=response, model_writer=model, vocab_size=1000)

# Serialize the model as file.
# with open('out.model', 'wb') as f:
#   f.write(model.getvalue())

# Directly load the model from serialized model.
sp = spm.SentencePieceProcessor(model_proto=model.getvalue())
print(sp.encode('this is test'))
