NAME

       PyGlossary - A tool for converting dictionary files

DESCRIPTION

       PyGlossary is a tool for working with dictionary databases (glossaries) Basic Usage:

              PyGI (Gtk3) Interface:

              To open PyGlossary window:

              pyglossary

              PyGI  is the default interface (so you never need to use "--ui=gtk" option) If PyGI
              was not found (not installed), then PyGlossary will fallback to Tkinter interface.

              Tkinter Interface:

              To open PyGlossary window:

              pyglossary --ui=tk

              Usually good for Windows and Mac OS X

              Command Line Interface:

              To show this help:

              pyglossary --help

              To show program version:

              pyglossary --version

              To Convert:

              pyglossary INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE

              To Reverse:

              pyglossary INPUT_FILE OUTPUT_FILE.txt --reverse

              Input and output files formats will be detected from extensions.  Except  that  you
              explicitly specify input or output format, for example:

              pyglossary   mydic.utf8   mydic.ifo   --read-format=tabfile  pyglossary  mydic.utf8
              mydic.ifo     --read-format     tabfile     pyglossary     mydic.ifo     mydic.utf8
              --write-format=tabfile pyglossary mydic.ifo mydic.utf8 --write-format tabfile

       General Options:

              Verbosity:

              -v0  or  '--verbosity 0' for critical errors only -v1 or '--verbosity 1' for errors
              only -v2 or '--verbosity 2' for errors and warnings  -v3  or  '--verbosity  3'  for
              errors, warnings and info -v4 or '--verbosity 4' for debug mode

              Appearance:

       --no-progress-bar and --no-color, useful for Windows (non-Unix) command line

   Full Convert Usage:
              pyglossary     INPUT_FILE     OUTPUT_FILE     [-vN]     [--read-format=FORMAT     ]
              [--write-format=FORMAT]

              [--sort|--no-sort]  [--direct|--indirect]   [--sort-cache-size=2000]   [--utf8-chec
              k|--no-utf8-check]        [--lower|--no-lower]        [--read-options=READ_OPTIONS]
              [--write-options=WRITE_OPTION S]

       Command line arguments and options (and arguments for options) is parsed with  GNU  getopt
       method  You  can also just type extension of output file instead of full path, if you want
       to create with the sam e input file name with another extension. For example:

              pyglossary mydic.ifo txt

   instead of:
              pyglossary mydic.ifo mydic.txt

   Compressing with gz, bz2 and zip is supported, just append these extension to the  file  name,
       for ex
       ample:"

              pyglossary mydic.ifo mydic.txt.gz

       or

              pyglossary mydic.ifo txt.gz

       And  if  the  input  file has these extensions (gz, bz2, zip), it will be extracted before
       loading
