pyhunspell is a set of Python bindings for the Hunspell spellchecker engine. It lets developers load Hunspell dictionaries, check words, get suggestions, add new words, etc. It also provides some basic morphological analysis related methods.
Make sure that python-dev and libhunspell-dev are installed.
You can install this package using pip:
pip install hunspell
Or from source using the following command as root:
python setup.py install
