Python Text Summarizer: Condensing Content with Code

Note

To make it easier for you to go through the project, it would be nice to know the following topics:

• Python basics;
• String Manipulation in Python;
• Natural Language Toolkit.

P.S. Even without knowledge of these topics, you can complete the project.

For this project, you are going to build your very first text summarizer. The starting point will be the following story:

Once upon a time, there was a young student named Jane. She had always been interested in computer science but had never had the opportunity to learn how to code. That all changed when her school offered a class on Python programming.

At first, Jane was intimidated by the thought of learning a new programming language. But she soon found that Python was surprisingly easy to understand and that her classmates were more than happy to help her when she got stuck.

As the weeks went by, Jane grew more and more confident in her abilities. She started working on her own projects outside of class and even built a simple game that she could play with her friends.

But Jane's greatest accomplishment came at the end of the semester when her teacher announced a coding competition. The prize for first place was a brand new laptop, and Jane knew that this was her chance to show off all that she had learned.

She worked tirelessly on her project, pouring her heart and soul into it. And when the competition was over, the judges declared her the winner. She was overjoyed and couldn't wait to take her new laptop home and continue learning Python.

From that day on, Jane never looked back. She continued to learn and improve her Python skills and eventually landed a job as a software developer. She was happy, fulfilled, and grateful for the opportunity to learn Python, which changed her life.

Let's get started with our text summarizer!
