pyDictionary is a minimal Python-based dictionary that runs locally in the browser.

Using the dictionary requires a Python environment.

In the simplest scenario the dictionary data is stored in SQLite databases and the user interface consists of a web page that is opened in a browser.

There is an alternative version that runs under the Apache web server, and which uses MySQL for data storage.

To run under Apache (version 2.x) you will need to install the mod_python module.

The standalone version uses a single-threaded lightweight Python web server - webserver.py.

pyDSL2HML is standalone a utility for converting Lingvo dictionary source files in DSL format to HTML files.

Data into the pyDictionary can be imported from Lingvo DSL source files using the pydsl2dbtk.py GUI tool which is a minimal Tk GUI for the console script pyDSL2Sqlite.py.
