"""
A set of functions used to interface with the external megam_ maxent
optimization package. Before megam can be used, you should tell NLTK where it
can find the megam binary, using the ``config_megam()`` function. Typical
usage:
>>> from nltk.classify import megam
>>> megam.config_megam() # pass path to megam if not found in PATH # doctest: +SKIP
[Found megam: ...]
Use with MaxentClassifier. Example below, see MaxentClassifier documentation
for details.
nltk.classify.MaxentClassifier.train(corpus, 'megam')
