Mecab in python? - Dominic4774 - 2015-09-29
Has anyone been able to get Mecab to work in python? I've tried using the python binding, but get an error when I run the setup. I remember in the past I somehow fixed this, but I can't remember how, and I haven't been able to find any discussions on this. I found a library in python called "natto" that works. The only problem with it is that the dictionary it uses isn't very big. This makes it so it misses a lot of words and doesn't show adjectives and verbs in their normal form.

There've been several threads about Mecab on koohii in the past.
The following might be the most relevant (although it's mostly discussion on how to get it working on Windows).

I have used it on Fedora with no trouble, but sounds like it's a lot harder on Windows.
I just checked what the Anki Japanese Support plugin does - apparently it doesn't use the Mecab Python bindings, rather it opens mecab.exe with subprocess.Popen and parses the result string.
