Reading the rules from an external file

from bulstem.stem import BulStemmer

# Pre-defined names of rule sets
PRE_DEFINED_RULES = ['stem-context-1', 
                     'stem-context-2',
                     'stem-context-3']
                     
# Excepted output:
# 1 втор
# 2 втори
# 3 вторият
for i, rules_name in enumerate(PRE_DEFINED_RULES, start=1):
    stemmer = BulStemmer.from_file(rules_name, min_freq=2, left_context=i)
    print(i, stemmer.stem('вторият'))

stemmer = BulStemmer.from_file('stem_rules_context_2_utf8.txt', min_freq=2, left_context=i)
stemmer.stem('вторият')# Excepted output: 1. 'втори'
stemmer.stem('вероятен')# Excepted output: 1. 'вероят'

BulStemmer.from_file params:

1. path - Path (or pre-defined name) to the rules file formatted, as follows: word ==> stem ==> freq.
2. min_freq - The minimum frequency of a rule to be used when stemming.
3. left_context - Size of the prefix which will not be stemmed.
