Stochastic poetry generation, using a trigram backoff model.
http://rhymeless.hamiltonulmer.com
Rhymeless is a small stochatic poetry generator written in Python 2.6. You input as many strings of text as you want, and it will output a four line poem.
You can run rhymeless.py as a script, carroting in raw text files. There are a number of different output types I've made. To see them all, just type
python rhymeless.py --help
and you'll get a list of them. For a few of the output methods, it makes sense to go ahead and create a configuration file in this style:
[directory] book_dir: /path/to/another/dir/books
[sqlite] db_dir: /path/to/where/I/want/my/sqlite/dbs/rhymeless
[site] site_dir: /var/.../path/to/rhymeless/site
Where book_dir is obviously a directory of the raw text you have. db_dir is the target directory where you would dump your sqlite database (I built this for such a use). You can take a look at the source if you're confused. Because it's not necessary for you to do this, feel free to just look at the small code snippet in the url above.
