pycontractions relies on language-check and the installation of language-check needs a specific java version, because it doesn't properly figure out the version and fails.

You can try to install jdk8 and make it your default java programm, but since it's pretty old and we're already at java15 you might also run into problems doing that.

Assuming you're using some sort of Debian/Ubuntu you can try:

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
pip install language-check
pip install pycontractions

I was able to successfully install pycontractions in my Python 3.7 environment on MacOS as follows:

  1. Check Java installation :
  1. Install language-check

pip install language-check, won't directly work, you would have to:

  • Install from a forked & fixed repo for language-check
  • pip install git+https://github.com/MCFreddie777/language-check.git
  1. Install pyemd

pip install pyemd again runs into installation issues in Python 3.7, therefore, follow the following steps:

  • Ensure you have XCode installed - xcode-select --install
  • Set export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9
  • pip install pyemd, should now work
  1. Now, pip install pycontractions should work!
