I can't start the Parsing Shell for bllipparser

Question

I go to The bllipparser website and I follow the instruction to try to start the parsing shell as I want to visualize parse trees. Well, when I try:

python -mbllipparser WSJ

I get

/usr/bin/python: bllipparser is a package and cannot be directly executed

So what's the deal, how can I start the parsing shell?

Answer 1

There is a mistake on the website. You need

python -mbllipparser.ParsingShell WSJ

to start the shell successfully. To find all of the contents of the bllipparser, one can refer to
