Pattern is a Python web mining module bundling tools for scraping (Google, Twitter, Wikipedia APIs, crawler, HTML DOM parser), NLP (POS tagging, n-gram search, sentiment analysis, WordNet), machine learning (vector space model, clustering, KNN/SVM/Perceptron), and network analysis with canvas visualization. The repository is now archived and no longer maintained.

Use cases

  • scrape tweets and web pages for text mining
  • run sentiment analysis on social media text
  • part-of-speech tag and parse English text
  • train classifiers like KNN or SVM on text vectors
  • analyze and visualize network graphs
  • search WordNet for word relationships

When to choose

  • you need an all-in-one classic NLP + scraping toolkit for Python 2.7/3.6
  • you want a simple, well-documented library for teaching or prototyping text mining
  • you need bundled sentiment analysis and WordNet access without heavy dependencies

When to avoid

  • you need maintained software with security patches and bug fixes
  • you target modern Python versions (3.7+)
  • you need production-grade NLP - prefer spaCy, NLTK, or scikit-learn
  • you rely on live Google/Twitter APIs that have since changed
