inflection

Word transformation. Transforms words from singular to plural, class names to table names, modularized class names to ones without, and class names to foreign keys.

Inflection is language specific and the default inflection handles English language inflection. You can access inflection handlers for other languages by importing the appropriate inflector. For example from miwa.inflection.sv import inflection to use Swedish inflection.
