Latin x Python - The Start

I'm a Python developer who is really interested in learning Latin.

So while I learn Latin, I've decided to start a project where it can easily generate questions like English-Latin, Latin-English or grammar questions (eg. what case a word is in).
This should be a better alternative to websites like Quizlet or Blooket, where you have to enter your own questions and set your own answers.

I started on the project a few days ago and have decided to record my progress.

Features I have added

• A function to convert a english noun to latin, with the arguments case, word and number
• This function uses words from the word list, and the words are in the 1st, 2nd or 4th declension
• A function to convert an english verb to latin, with the arguments word, person, number and tense
• This function also only uses words from the word list, and the words can be any tense and also any conjugation

Demos

Here is a demo of the noun function so far:

And here is a demo of the verb function:

uhh....this might be a little bit irrelevant, but you seem approachable.
Basically, I created a web framework named willpyre inspired mostly from ExpressJS and FastAPI There are plans for Flask-ish features (such as render()).

It supports:

• Cookies
• Multipart forms (file upload)
• Modify and set HTTP headers
• Variables in URL, get query params
• Nested routers.
• Auto documentation (using OpenAPI | Experimental)
• and more...

The docs are at willpyre.readthedocs.org/.

Thanks for reading this :). Really thanks.
It is

[Medea]

this is amazing! you made it yourself-?

[Masashi]

Thanks for seeing it .

[Masashi]

Yup. Completely. I started from this article and then added features.

Could you maybe use this to make a casual app? Tiny one.
I have some examples. This framework is useful since:
-> It can use SocketIO.
-> It is faster than Flask (2x appx) and a bit faster than FastAPI (no pun intended). I don't have the benchmarks right now, will surely add later.
-> It has an easy to use API.
-> It is well documented (imo).

I will also write some code (if needed) for the "casual app".
Can you please 🥺 create an app in this?

As someone with many years of studying Latin in the past, this project is really interesting to me!

Do you have code somewhere public where I could take a look at it and maybe contribute?

[Medea]

Thanks for the support!
I’m keeping the Repo private while I’m working on the code.
I’ll let you know once I make the code open source!

[Andrew Luchuk]

I look forward to hearing more!

[Samuel Collier]

Hey, I've taken Latin before and this project seems really cool! Can't wait to see more updates!

[Medea]

Thanks! It’s great to know someone supports my idea
