How to get synonyms from nltk WordNet Python

Question

WordNet is great, but I\'m having a hard time getting synonyms in nltk. If you search similar to for the word \'small\' like here, it shows all of the synonyms.

Answer 1

I've code Thesaurus Lookup for Synonym recently, I used this function :

def find_synonyms(keyword) :

    synonyms = []
    for synset in wordnet.synsets(keyword):
        for lemma in synset.lemmas():
            synonyms.append(lemma.name())

    return str(synonyms)

But if you prefer to host your own Dictionary, you might interested with my project on offline synonym dictionary lookup on my github page :
