More about the Demo Website

The demo website is just built utilizing the material and code in Open Shakespeare. It does far more than just provide you with texts but also allows you to access a concordance, view texts side by side and more. If you’ve installed the Shakespeare python package you can run this exact same site locally by executing the following from the command line interface:

   bin/shakespeare-admin runserver

This way you can run, modify and experiment with the Shakespeare package wherever you need to — whether at home or at school.

Example Scripts

Here are some scripts that demonstrate what you can do with the python API:
