PyGunFog

January 3rd, 2007

My first real foray into writing some simple Python scripts was a few scripts to establish the Gunning-Fog index of some given text. I wont go into lots of details about the uses of such a script; if you’re interested read Gez Lemons writeup over on Juicy Studio.

I took quite a bit of inspiration, and some code, from a similar script, PyFlesch, for establising the Flesch reading score of text.

I expanded things a little, using the Feedparser module to parse content from RSS and Atom feeds and give a Flesch or Gunning-Fog score of the summaries.
