This is a very early pre-release of a potential re-write of textstat I've been working on off-and-on.

>>> from textstat import Text, Sentence, Word

>>> my_text = Text(
  "Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the "
  "bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into "
  "the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or "
  "conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice "
  "“without pictures or conversations?”"
)

>>> my_text.stats()
{'letters': 236, 'characters': 246, 'words': 57, 'sentences': 1}

>>> my_text.flesch_reading_ease()
31.727368421052645

>>> my_text.filter(Word.length >= 10)
[Word('conversations'), Word('conversations')]

The intial idea behind this new version is to better support other languages - but now contains a new interface and features.

This intial release only supports English but has the framework for adding additional languages.

If you want to try it, it's available as a pre-release on PyPi also
