"""
Python interface to libvoikko, library of Finnish language tools.
This module can be used to perform various natural language analysis
tasks.

An example session demonstrating the use of this module:

 >>> import libvoikko
 >>> v = libvoikko.Voikko(u"fi")
 >>> v.analyze(u"kissa")
 [{'SIJAMUOTO': u'nimento', 'CLASS': u'nimisana', 'STRUCTURE': u'=ppppp'}]
 >>> v.spell(u"kissa")
 True
 >>> v.suggest(u"kisssa")
 [u'kissa', u'kissaa', u'kisassa', u'kisussa']
 >>> v.hyphenate(u"kissa")
 u'kis-sa'
 >>> v.terminate()
