Description

I tried running the example code on the pypi page, but there were multiple errors. Aside from undefined variables, I found

  • p.gender('f') raises BadGenderError since 'f' isn't in singular_pronoun_genders
  • Something like print("There" + p.plural_verb("was", errors) + p.no(" error", errors)) prints There[3 SPACES]were[2 SPACES]6[1 SPACE]errors. There's too much whitespace. This happens for many of the functions
  • run/running or run/runner fail all 4 of the compare checks. Not sure if function is broken or that's just a missing case.
  • join() function can't be found at runtime (When installed via pip3) even though I can see it in the downloaded source code from the pypi website.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Reproduce the errors using the example from the PyPI page. For the BadGenderError, check the gender handling in singular pronoun genders. For whitespace issues, inspect the string formatting in plural functions. For run/running, investigate the compare checks for irregular verbs. For the join function (if still present), verify its visibility in installed package.
