snowball_stemmer_wheels is a fork of PyStemmer that provides pre-built wheels for PyStemmer on manylinux for 3.6 to 3.12.
PyStemmer is a Python interface to the stemming algorithms from the Snowball project (https://snowballstem.org/).
Snowball can generate pure-Python stemmer code, but if you want to stem a lot of words this can be rather slow.
PyStemmer instead wraps the "libstemmer_c" library which is built from C code generated by Snowball.
An alternative to using PyStemmer directly is to use the snowballstemmer module from Snowball, which will automatically use PyStemmer if available, falling back to the pure Python implementations if not. This allows your users to choose between the convenience of only dealing with pure Python code and the significantly better performance of PyStemmer.

To install snowball-stemmer-wheels, you can use pip:
pip install snowball-stemmer-wheelsTo use inside python code:
import snowball_stemmer
print("All available languages: ", snowball_stemmer.algorithms())
stemmer = snowball_stemmer.SnowballStemmer('english')
stemmer.stemWord('running')
