pyfst

Python interface to OpenFst

Documentation: http://pyfst.github.io

Build Status

Installation

  1. Install OpenFst 1.3.4 pached with c++11 patch from Kaldi or OpenFST 1.4 (tested 2019-06-03)
  2. Install requirements sudo pip install --upgrade pyyaml pystache cython
  3. Build the fork using setup.py
# Change for your setting needed only if openfst is not in PYTHONPATH
export FST=your/path/to/openfst  
# Build it locally
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
# or install system wide
[sudo -E] python setup.py install

# In both case for further usage set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$FST/lib:$FST/lib/fst:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Basic Usage

import fst

t = fst.Transducer()

t.add_arc(0, 1, 'a', 'A', 0.5)
t.add_arc(0, 1, 'b', 'B', 1.5)
t.add_arc(1, 2, 'c', 'C', 2.5)

t[2].final = 3.5

t.shortest_path() # 2 -(a:A/0.5)-> 1 -(c:C/2.5)-> 0/3.5

The pyfst API is IPython notebook-friendly: the transducers objects are automatically drawn using Graphviz.

Docker

There is also a Dockerfile so that you can build pyfst and run it within a Docker image.

Build:

docker build -t pyfst .

Run:

docker run -p 8888:8888 -v `pwd`/notebooks:/notebooks -it pyfst sh -c "jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0 /notebooks"

Jupyter notebooks will be available at http://localhost:8888/tree on your host machine.

Python examples are in /pyfst/examples. You can run them as follows:

docker run -it pyfst python /pyfst/examples/basic.py
