Mecab

✓ from mecab import MeCab

✗ from python_mecab_ko import Mecab

The package name has a dash, but the import uses 'mecab' (no dash).

Basic usage: parse Korean text into morphemes with POS tags.

from mecab import MeCab mecab = MeCab() text = "안녕하세요. 저는 한국어입니다." parsed = mecab.pos(text) print(parsed) # [('안녕하세요', 'MAG'), ('.', 'SF'), ('저', 'NP'), ('는', 'JX'), ('한국어', 'NNG'), ('입니다', 'VCP+EC'), ('.', 'SF')]

Debug

Known issues

brokenThe package is named 'python-mecab-ko' but import is 'mecab'. Using 'python_mecab_ko' will raise ImportError.

fix

Use 'from mecab import MeCab' instead.

affects: all

gotchaMeCab() constructor does not accept arguments in this binding. Some users try to pass mecabrc path, which is not supported.

fix

Use default constructor. To customize, set environment variable MECABRC before import.

affects: all

gotchamecab-ko dictionary must be installed separately. The Python package only wraps the binary. Without the dictionary, you'll get runtime errors about missing resources.

fix
