NLTK Tokenizer Package

Tokenizers divide strings into lists of substrings.  For example,
tokenizers can be used to find the words and punctuation in a string:

    >>> from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
    >>> s = '''Good muffins cost $3.88\nin New York.  Please buy me
    ... two of them.\n\nThanks.'''
    >>> word_tokenize(s)
    ['Good', 'muffins', 'cost', '$', '3.88', 'in', 'New', 'York', '.',
    'Please', 'buy', 'me', 'two', 'of', 'them', '.', 'Thanks', '.']

This particular tokenizer requires the Punkt sentence tokenization
models to be installed. NLTK also provides a simpler,
regular-expression based tokenizer, which splits text on whitespace
and punctuation:

    >>> from nltk.tokenize import wordpunct_tokenize
    >>> wordpunct_tokenize(s)
    ['Good', 'muffins', 'cost', '$', '3', '.', '88', 'in', 'New', 'York', '.',
    'Please', 'buy', 'me', 'two', 'of', 'them', '.', 'Thanks', '.']

We can also operate at the level of sentences, using the sentence
tokenizer directly as follows:

    >>> from nltk.tokenize import sent_tokenize, word_tokenize
    >>> sent_tokenize(s)
    ['Good muffins cost $3.88\nin New York.', 'Please buy me\ntwo of them.', 'Thanks.']
    >>> [word_tokenize(t) for t in sent_tokenize(s)]
    [['Good', 'muffins', 'cost', '$', '3.88', 'in', 'New', 'York', '.'],
    ['Please', 'buy', 'me', 'two', 'of', 'them', '.'], ['Thanks', '.']]

Caution: when tokenizing a Unicode string, make sure you are not
using an encoded version of the string (it may be necessary to
decode it first, e.g. with ``s.decode("utf8")``.

NLTK tokenizers can produce token-spans, represented as tuples of integers
having the same semantics as string slices, to support efficient comparison
of tokenizers.  (These methods are implemented as generators.)

    >>> from nltk.tokenize import WhitespaceTokenizer
    >>> list(WhitespaceTokenizer().span_tokenize(s))
    [(0, 4), (5, 12), (13, 17), (18, 23), (24, 26), (27, 30), (31, 36), (38, 44),
    (45, 48), (49, 51), (52, 55), (56, 58), (59, 64), (66, 73)]

There are numerous ways to tokenize text.  If you need more control over
tokenization, see the other methods provided in this package.
