[Snowball-discuss] PyStemmer release

[Samuele Kaplun]

Dear all,
I see that PyStemmer has not been updated since two years, but developing 
continued on the C library.
I took the code from SVN and tried to make a release of PyStemmer by myself 
and succeeded.
(I just needed to put the content of snowball folder under libstemmer_c, 
running Make into it, copying mkinc.mak from the libstemmer folder into 
libstemmer_c as mkinc_utf8.mak, compiling Stemmer.pyx with latest version of 
Cython, and finally run python setup.py build)

After this I obtained a complete PyStemmer release with updated languages!

I did some test and it seems to work at least with simple Python strings and 
unicode strings.

My question is: is there any particular reason for not having released a new 
version of PyStemmer with updated C code? Is it somehow broken? Do you 
discourage me to put this updated version compiled by me on a production 
machine?

Best regards,
	Samuele
