pysimplenlg's Issues

Tutorial test does not work. Missing files in the module

I installed the simplenlg module locally and ran your tutorial test file. Got this error.

Python 3.7.2 (tags/v3.7.2:9a3ffc0492, Dec 23 2018, 22:20:52) [MSC v.1916 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

no verb realization

I tried some basic example with pySimplNLG. However, verbs are systematically omitted from the final output.

I used the following code:

`import simplenlg as nlg

nlg_factory = nlg.NLGFactory()
lexicon = nlg.lexicon.Lexicon()
realiser = nlg.realiser.Realiser(lexicon)

p = nlg_factory.createClause()
p.setSubject("The dog")
p.setVerb("bite")
p.setObject("the monkey")
p.setFeature(nlg.Feature.TENSE,nlg.Tense.PAST)
print(realiser.realiseSentence(p))`

which only produces

The dog the monkey.

Just to make sure, I also checked the original JAVA-code from which this package has been built.
That code does create proper sentences with verbs. So I guess there must be a bug in the python version.

Any examples on how to use pysimplenlg?

Hi, do you have tutorials or examples on how to use pysimplenlg please?
