PyEnchant is a set of language bindings and some wrapper classes to make the excellent Enchant spellchecker available as a Python module. The bindings are generated using SWIG. It includes all the functionality of Enchant with the flexibility of Python and a nice 'Pythonic' object-oriented interface. It also aims to provide some higher-level functionality than is available in the C API. Enchant is the spellchecking package behind the AbiWord word processor, is being considered for inclusion in the KDE office suite, and has been proposed as a FreeDesktop.org standard. It aims to provide a single API to access spellchecking services on any platform, by wrapping the natively available spellchecking facilities. For example, it can access aspell when running under Linux and AppleSpell on Mac OSX.
