OK, committed the python changes. Docs still to be done, anyone with a better description?

Michael, Go ahead and commit. Yes, the docs do need updating and clarivication.

I called it only with a hyphenation dictionary, when I changed the call to: louis.hyphenate(["en-us-g2.ctb", "hyph_en_US.dic"], "internal", 0) It works fine, shall I commit (obviously I will correct the typo mentioned before)? Should the docs say that you must give a translation table as well as the hyphenation dictionary (or at least with a table with the character definitions, etc which are required).

I think I see the problem. For some reason (probably because they use a different format) you cannot use the hyphenation table as a translation table that you pass to lou_hyphenate. Instead the translation table that you use must contain a "include hyph_en_US.dic" statement. This should maybe be explained a bit better in the documentation (http://liblouis.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/liblouis.html#Hyphenation-Tables). So what you should probably do is to extend the table you are using (e.g. en-us-g2.ctb) with a "include hyph_en_US.dic" statement. Then try your hyphenate function again.
