Functionality

The first thing we need to do is import the library

from dexonlineBK import dexonlineBK as DO

The first, and most important, function is getWordDefinition() This function returns the list of lists

definitions = DO.getWordDefinition("neexplicabil")

for defs in definitions:
	print(defs[0])
	print(defs[1] + "\n")

Output:

NEEXPLICÁBIL
adj. v. inexplicabil.

NEEXPLICABIL
adj. inexplicabil, neînțeles. (Un fapt ~.)

Neexplicabil
≠ explicabil

For more printing comfort I have the toString() function

DO.toString(definitions)

Output:

WORD: NEEXPLICÁBIL
