Version 1.1.0 fixes an issue in setup.py that caused the installation process to fail to install dependencies automatically, with the consequence that users got errors about missing Python packages. Additional improvements include:

  • updated installation instructions
  • improvements to the JOSS paper
  • the command-line program now uses the more conventional -V instead of -v for the version
  • internal code refactoring

Nostril (Nonsense String Evaluator) is a Python 3 module that can infer whether a given word or text string is likely to be nonsense or meaningful text. A "meaningful" string of characters is one constructed from real or real-looking English words or fragments of real words (even if the words are runtogetherlikethis). The main use case is to decide whether short strings returned by source code mining methods are likely to be program identifiers (of classes, functions, variables, etc.), or random or other non-identifier strings.
