  Description     : library to detect the natural language of a text

 guess_language is a Python library to guess the natural language
 that a given text is written it. To achieve this, it uses models
 precomputed for each language and, optionally, spellchecking of
 words.
 .
 This package installs the library for Python 3.

There is a RFP on this package for some time:
https://bugs.debian.org/719820. I'll also need this in my future
project. I will maintain it myself.

The package theoretically supports Python 2 through lib3to2, but
it is not in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/597283, so I don't
provide the Python 2 version. I, personally, have no need for
Python 2 version, but if lib3to2 is available I'll be happy to add
it. The current state of packaging is here:
