Hi,

I have installed pyenchant-1.6.5.win32.exe under python 2.6 on win xp.

The code below raises assertion error:

import enchant
enchant.get_enchant_version()
'1.6.0'
d = enchant.Dict("de_DE")
d.suggest("ssa")

** (Python.exe:1320): CRITICAL **: enchant_is_title_case: assertion `word && *word' failed

** (Python.exe:1320): CRITICAL **: enchant_is_all_caps: assertion `word && *word' failed
['SAS', '']

It looks like your enchant personal word list contains a blank line, or
some other malformed line that's being interpreted as the empty string.
In turn, this empty string is triggering the assertion errors inside
the enchant library.

The PWL file will be named "de.dic" or "de_DE.dic" and will be located
somewhere in your user directory. Unfortunately I don't recall the
exact path to the file under windows.

Is there anything I can do to workaround this?

If you remove blank lines from the PWL file it should fix the issue.

I will look into reporting this upstream as a bug, since it really
should just ignore blank lines in the file.

BTW: Why if I have installed pyenchant-1.6.5 get_enchant_version() returns '1.6.0' ?

That's the version of the underlying enchant library, i.e. the C library
to which pyenchant interfaces. On my machine I have:

>>> import enchant
>>> enchant.__version__
'1.6.6'
>>> enchant.get_enchant_version()
'1.6.0'
>>>

Cheers,

Ryan
