Nostril (Nonsense String Evaluator) is a Python 3 module that infers whether a given word or text string is likely nonsense or meaningful text. It is primarily used to distinguish program identifiers from natural language. Current version 1.2.2, released 2023-12-31. Release cadence is low, with no recent updates.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

nonsense_detector

✓ from nostril_detector import nonsense_detector

✗ from nostril import detect_nonsense

generate_nonsense_detector

✓ from nostril_detector import generate_nonsense_detector

test_labeled

✓ from nostril_detector import test_labeled

Basic usage: call detect_nonsense(string) which returns True if the string is likely nonsense, False otherwise.

from nostril import detect_nonsense # Test a meaningful string test_string = 'hello world' result = detect_nonsense(test_string) print(f'{test_string!r}: nonsense={result}') # Test a nonsense string (e.g., program identifier) test_string2 = 'xzyqwk' result2 = detect_nonsense(test_string2) print(f'{test_string2!r}: nonsense={result2}')

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe import module is 'nostril', not 'nostril_detector'. Uninstalling 'nostril-detector' and installing 'nostril' leads to a different package (a text encoding detector).

fix

Use 'from nostril import detect_nonsense' after 'pip install nostril-detector'.

affects: all

gotchaThe detect_nonsense function returns True for nonsense input and False for meaningful input. This is contrary to intuition (non-nonsense = meaningful).

fix

Remember: detect_nonsense('hello') -> False (meaningful); detect_nonsense('xzy') -> True (nonsense).

affects: all

deprecatedThe command-line option '-v' for version was changed to '-V' in v1.1.0.

fix

Use '-V' for version, or '--version'.

affects: <1.1.0
