Preprocessor is a preprocessing library for tweet data written in Python.
When building Machine Learning systems based on tweet data, a preprocessing is required. This library makes it easy to clean, parse or tokenize the tweets.
Currently supports cleaning, tokenizing and parsing:
- URLs
- Hashtags
- Mentions
- Reserved words (RT, FAV)
- Emojis
- Smileys
Supports Python 2.7 and 3.3+
>>> import preprocessor as p
>>> p.clean('Preprocessor is #awesome 👍 https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
'Preprocessor is'>>> p.tokenize('Preprocessor is #awesome 👍 https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
'Preprocessor is $HASHTAG$ $EMOJI$ $URL$'>>> parsed_tweet = p.parse('Preprocessor is #awesome https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
