macdict is a command line utility and library to look up dictionary in macOS.
It is built on the Dictionary Services (CoreServices.framework)
and ctypes. So we have a pure Python implementation without any compile-time
dependency.
$ pip install macdict
or with pipsi for using its CLI only:
$ pipsi install macdict
$ macdict-lookup apple apple | BrE ˈap(ə)l, AmE ˈæpəl | noun (fruit) ...
from macdict import lookup_word
definition = lookup_word(u'apple')
print(definition)If you want to report bugs or request features, please feel free to open issues or create pull requests on GitHub.
