Exercise 3: Processing O. Henry

Let's practice text processing with NLTK. You will be essentially duplicating what we did with the Gettysburg Address in class today. Instead of the Gettysburg address as input, use O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi, found here. The file should be downloaded (DO NOT copy-and-paste!! It is a bad practice to copy-paste text file contents!!) and placed in your usual Python script directory. Instructions and tips: Name your new script file process_gift.py. Work in your Terminal environment using the command python process_gift.py or python -i process_gift.py Reference the input text file using its full file and directory path. Comment your code! (Required on all assignments going forward.) You should utilize shell as usual, but this text is much longer than Gettysburg, so you should take care not to flash large objects to shell. Using slicing [:50], [-50:] is one way. Have your script print out the following: How many word tokens there are, How many word types there are, (word types are a unique set of words) Top 20 most frequent words and their counts, (use for-loop on .most_common() output) Words that are at least 10 characters long and their counts. [BONUS CHALLENGE] 10+ characters-long words that occur at least twice, sorted from most frequent to least Format your printed output exactly like this (produced using tale.txt), down to the verbiage, spaces, blank lines, line breaks and placement of quotes. When you're done with your work, save the printed output as a text file by running python process_gift.py > process_gift_out.txt Additionally, save your shell session as a text file for submission, named process_gift_shell.txt. This is an example of a saved shell session: note that this is NOT a script. It will save your entire shell history, with errors and all, which is fine (remember: shell-side exploration is encouraged). Note: the story begins with the title and the author: "The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry". If you want, exclude this part when processing the text, but you are not obligated to do so. SUBMIT: Upload: process_gift.py (script file), process_gift_out.txt (printed output saved as a text file), and process_gift_shell.txt (your shell session saved as a text file). Remember to include in your scripts a comment line at the very top containing your name, Pitt email and and date, e.g.: # Na-Rae Han, naxxxhan@pitt.edu, September 10, 2026
