Installation

Usage

Notes:
Jangan lupa membuat folder ./models
$ mkdir models

$ python tembang_generator.py -h # to print help

For macapat type, you can choose one of these:
['maskumambang', 'mijil', 'sinom', 'kinanthi', 'asmarandana', 'gambuh', 'dhandhanggula', 'durma',
 'pangkur', 'megatruh', 'pocung', 'jurudemung', 'wirangrong']

catatan: jurudemung dan wirangrong masuknya sekar madya, bukan macapat

So for example, you can run:
$ python tembang_generator.py -t pocung

To generate more than one stanza, you can define the number like so:
$ python tembang_generator.py -t pocung -n 3
