syllapy

✓ import syllapy

✗ import syllapy

This example demonstrates how to import the `syllapy` library and use its `count` function to determine the number of syllables in a given English word.

import syllapy word = "additional" syllable_count = syllapy.count(word) print(f"The word '{word}' has {syllable_count} syllables.")

Debug

Known issues

gotchaSyllapy prioritizes speed over perfect accuracy in syllable estimation. For scenarios requiring higher accuracy, consider using the `cmudict` Python library instead.

fix

Evaluate accuracy requirements; for higher precision, explore alternative libraries like `cmudict`.

affects: <=0.7.2

breakingThe official GitHub repository for Syllapy was archived by the owner on October 29, 2025, making it read-only. This indicates that the project is no longer actively maintained, and users should not expect further updates, bug fixes, or new features.

fix

Be aware that the library is unmaintained. Consider migrating to an actively developed alternative for new projects or long-term maintenance.

affects: All versions, going forward from Oct 2025

gotchaSyllapy officially supports Python versions >=3.6 and <4. Users on newer Python versions (e.g., 3.9+) might encounter compatibility issues. Additionally, ensure you are installing `syllapy` and not the similarly named, but distinct and more recently updated, `syllables` library (via `pip install syllables`), which explicitly supports Python >=3.9.

fix

Verify your Python environment matches the `syllapy` requirements. If on Python 3.9+ or seeking active maintenance, evaluate the `syllables` library (`pip install syllables`) as an alternative.

affects: <=0.7.2
