This file is a vendored version of ` Christopher Potts ' tokenizer <http://sentiment.christopherpotts.net/tokenizing.html>`_, which the project ' s specifications require to use .
It has been altered to be used with Python 3.10 , but the code is mostly the same .

This code implements a basic , Twitter - aware tokenizer .
A tokenizer is a function that splits a string of text into words . In
Python terms , we map string and unicode objects into lists of unicode
objects .
There is not a single right way to do tokenizing . The best method
depends on the application . This tokenizer is designed to be flexible
and this easy to adapt to new domains and tasks . The basic logic is
this :
1. The tuple regex_strings defines a list of regular expression
strings .
2. The regex_strings strings are put , in order , into a compiled
regular expression object called word_re .
3. The tokenization is done by word_re . findall ( s ) , where s is the
user - supplied string , inside the tokenize ( ) method of the class
Tokenizer .
4. When instantiating Tokenizer objects , there is a single option :
preserve_case . By default , it is set to True . If it is set to
False , then the tokenizer will downcase everything except for
emoticons .
The __main__ method illustrates by tokenizing a few examples .
I ' ve also included a Tokenizer method tokenize_random_tweet(). If the
twitter library is installed ( http : / / code . google . com / p / python - twitter / )
and Twitter is cooperating , then it should tokenize a random
English - language tweet .
