        Fugashi is a Cython wrapper for [MeCab](https://taku910.github.io/mecab/). It
        doesn't attempt to cover all of the potential use cases of MeCab, instead
        dealing with only the most common ones.
        
        - Only UniDic is supported, you can't use IPADic. UniDic Neologd is fine.
        - Only UTF-8 is supported.
        - Only Python3 is supported.
        
        See the [blog post](https://www.dampfkraft.com/nlp/fugashi.html) for background
        on why Fugashi exists and some of the design decisions.
        
        ## Usage
        
            from fugashi import Tagger
        
            tagger = Tagger('-Owakati')
            text = "麩菓子（ふがし）は、麩を主材料とした日本の菓子。"
            tagger.parse(text)
            # => '麩 菓子 （ ふ が し ） は 、 麩 を 主材 料 と し た 日本 の 菓子 。'
            for word in tagger.parseToNodeList(text):
                print(word, word.feature.lemma, word.pos, sep='\t')
                # "feature" is the Unidic feature data as a named tuple
        
        ## Alternatives
        
        If you have a problem with Fugashi feel free to open an issue. However, there
        are some cases where it might be better to use a different library.
        
        - If you want to use MeCab but don't have a C compiler, use [natto-py](https://github.com/buruzaemon/natto-py).
        - If you don't want to deal with installing MeCab at all, try [SudachiPy](https://github.com/WorksApplications/SudachiPy).
        
        Note that these are both slower than Fugashi according to a [benchmark I
        wrote](https://github.com/polm/ja-tokenizer-benchmark).
