Latin x Python - The Start

#programming #python #productivity #latin

I'm a Python developer who is really interested in learning Latin.

So while I learn Latin, I've decided to start a project where it can easily generate questions like English-Latin, Latin-English or grammar questions (eg. what case a word is in).
This should be a better alternative to websites like Quizlet or Blooket, where you have to enter your own questions and set your own answers.

I started on the project a few days ago and have decided to record my progress.

Features I have added

A function to convert a english noun to latin, with the arguments case, word and number
This function uses words from the word list, and the words are in the 1st, 2nd or 4th declension
A function to convert an english verb to latin, with the arguments word, person, number and tense
This function also only uses words from the word list, and the words can be any tense and also any conjugation

Demos

Here is a demo of the noun function so far:

And here is a demo of the verb function:

uhh....this might be a little bit irrelevant, but you seem approachable.
Basically, I created a web framework named willpyre inspired mostly from ExpressJS and FastAPI There are plans for Flask-ish features (such as render()).

It supports:

Cookies
Multipart forms (file upload)
Modify and set HTTP headers
Variables in URL, get query params
Nested routers.
Auto documentation (using OpenAPI | Experimental)
and more...

The docs are at willpyre.readthedocs.org/.

Thanks for reading this :). Really thanks.

Thanks for seeing it .

Yup. Completely. I started from this article and then added features.

Could you maybe use this to make a casual app? Tiny one.
I have some examples. This framework is useful since:
-> It can use SocketIO.
-> It is faster than Flask (2x appx) and a bit faster than FastAPI (no pun intended). I don't have the benchmarks right now, will surely add later.
-> It has an easy to use API.
-> It is well documented (imo).

I will also write some code (if needed) for the "casual app".
Can you please 🥺 create an app in this?
