LEMLAT3 with WSGI

This is a short and simple WSGI web interface for LEMLAT3, a product of the CIRCSE Research Centre. In order to use this, you will need a running copy of LEMLAT3, which can be found here. This interface was specifically written to use the precompiled embedded lemlat in bin/linux_embedded/ of the LEMLAT3 package, but you should be able to get it to work with the non-embedded version.

Installation

• Your webserver must have WSGI enabled. In the appropriate web directory (e.g. /var/www/wsgi/lemlat/) copy your entire bin/linux_embedded/ contents from the LEMLAT3 download.
• Copy lemlat.py and lemlat.html from this repository into the same directory.
• Add the following directives into your webserver config file:

    <Directory "/var/www/wsgi/lemlat">
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    WSGIScriptAlias /lemlat /var/www/wsgi/lemlat/lemlat.py

• Restart your webserver.

Usage

The web interface should now be usable as: https://my-web-site/lemlat?word=bellum

The results resemble standard LEMLAT3 output, with minimal styling.

Note

Lemmas have a link to the corresponding entries in Logeion.

Tip

In lemlat.py there are two variables worthy of being mentioned. One is acceptable_referers, a list of acceptable referers, in case you would like the interface to only be accessible from a pre-designated website link. This functionality will only be enforced if the variable need_referer is set to True.
