Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe split_text_into_sentences function requires the 'language' argument; defaults to 'en' but always specify to avoid ambiguity.

fix

Always pass language='en' (or your target language) explicitly.

affects: all

gotchaThe library may not handle abbreviations or edge cases perfectly (e.g., 'Dr.' followed by a name).

fix

Preprocess text to handle known abbreviations or use a more robust library if high accuracy is needed.

affects: all

deprecatedThe package's last release was in 2019; no active development, may not receive updates for Python version compatibility.

fix

Consider alternatives like spaCy or nltk for ongoing support.

affects: 1.4
