Parody generation with Markov Chain.

$ pip install markovy

from markovy import MarkovChain

with open('./shakespeare.txt') as f:
  mc = MarkovChain(f)

print(mc.make_sentence())
# output: ["For in thy orisons Be all my sins rememb'red."]

To run tests, you have to install unittest first:

$ pip install unittest

Then, just run tests.py:

$ python tests.py

__init__(dataset)

• dataset:
  • file-like object: Dataset can be file-like object as in usage example above.
  • string: A string to be parsed can be given as dataset.
  • list: A parsed word list can be given as dataset.

make_word(count=1)

Generates random word from the dataset.

• count (Integer): How many what will you generate? Default value is 1.

make_sentence(count=1)

Generates random sentences from the dataset.

• count (Integer): How many what will you generate? Default value is 1.

make_paragraph(count=1, minimum=5, maximum=10)

Generates random paragraphs from the dataset.

• count (Integer): How many what will you generate? Default value is 1.
• minimum (Integer): Minimum sentence count. Default value is 5.
• maximum (Integer): Maximum sentence count. Default value is 10.

make_text(count=1, minimum=5, maximum=10)

Generates random texts from the dataset.

• count (Integer): How many what will you generate? Default value is 1.
• minimum (Integer): Minimum sentence count. Default value is 5.
• maximum (Integer): Maximum sentence count. Default value is 10.

PS: All results will be returned as list.

• Random walking method is used on the current version. You can add weights for each words in chain to generate more logical outputs.

• The idea came up while discussing with Fatih Erikli and he suggested me to write a Python module for Markov Chain algorithm.

Python module for Markov Chain algorithm.
