anceps's Issues

Anceps crashes when scanning Seneca's Tragedies

I am running Anceps to create a training set for neural networks. When running the program on Seneca's Medea, it crashes on line 662, patrioque pendet. It also seems to have trouble somewhere around Hercules Oetaeus' lines 276-279:

perfer manus quocumque quid cessas dea
utere furente quod iubes fieri nefas
reperi quid haeres ipsa iam cesses licet
haec ira satis est nvt pectoris sani parum

The error reads:

File "anceps/src/scan/word.py", line 103, in __get_prefix
    prefix = Word.PREFIX.match(option.scansion).group()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

If fixed it in the Word class, by adding a try to the init function:

        if next_word:
            try:
                self.next_word_prefix = next_word.__get_prefix()
            except:
                self.next_word_prefix = None
        else:
            self.next_word_prefix = None

The scansion will fail, but that is fine for my use case. As long as the other lines are scanned 🗡️

I am not sure why Oetaeus goes wrong :S Anyway, great tool!

Divide by zero error in calculate_frequencies()

Hi Dargones,

I was experimenting with small datasets of various meters. In the case of the glyconeus and the iambic dimeter, I used Seneca Medea 75–92 and 849-855 respectively. These verses do not have elisions, which crashes Anceps, as it tries to calculate the frequency of elisions in the given dataset. Maybe you could add a try or a small check for zero in the calculate_frequencies function in analyze.py. The error almost never occurs, and only for elisions of course, but just wanted to let you know :)
