Project

yasbd-lib (Yet Another Sentence Boundary Detector)

Checklist

  • I read CONTRIBUTING.md - awesome-python is a shortlist, not a catalog
  • One project per PR
  • PR title format: Add yasbd-lib
  • Entry format: - [yasbd-lib](https://pypi.org/project/yasbd-lib/) - Description ending with period.
  • Display name is the PyPI package name
  • Placed in an existing use case (Natural Language Processing, General)
  • Meets all Quality Requirements: active, stable, documented, at least 1 month old

Which Tier

Pick one:

  • Obvious choice - a tool an experienced Python developer would name when asked "what do I use for this?"
  • Challenger - not yet the obvious choice, but a credible successor to one. Give adoption-trajectory evidence, not popularity alone.

Explain:

yasbd-lib is a production-ready, rule-based sentence boundary detector for Python NLP pipelines. It supports 39 languages and includes a drop-in pysbd adapter and a spaCy v3 integration.

The project is also used by downstream projects including OpenMed, LiveTranslate, chunklet-py, wyoming_openai, and Kreyolib.

The v1.0.0 release marked the end of the beta phase, with the core API and language coverage stabilized for production use. A detailed write-up of the transition from beta to v1.0.0 is available here:

Displacement

Not applicable. The General use case currently has four entries, so adding yasbd-lib would bring it to five and stay within the limit.

@speedyk-005 Thanks for fixing the placement. NLP → General lists full NLP toolkits (nltk, spacy, gensim, stanza); a sentence boundary detector is a narrower job. yasbd-lib is at ~8k downloads/month versus ~3.3M for pysbd, which isn't itself listed, so there isn't yet the adoption-trajectory evidence the Challenger tier requires. Happy to reconsider once adoption grows. See CONTRIBUTING
