##Notes

• Works with NLTK WordNet PoS Tags (i.e. 'n' or nltk.coprpus.wordnet.NOUN) as well as the Big Huge Thesaurus PoS Tags.
• By default, it uses json and returns a list of results.
• pyhugeconnector.thesaurus_entry_raw(…) can be used to retrieve the raw entry returned from the API. NB: While for json responses the return type is a Python dict, for xml or php responses the return type is a str.
• And no, neither xml nor php are altered/parsed/touched in any way, what you receive is the raw str as returned by the API.
• If you want to run the tests locally you need to pass your API key, i.e.: python test.py <YOUR-API-KEY>.
• If you want to test with nose, you should install nose-testconfig (pip install nose-testconfig) and create a file called nose_config.yaml. The contents of the File should simply be api_key: <Your API Key>. You can then run the nose tests with nosetests -s --tc-file nose_config.yaml --tc-format yaml.
