To install rake as a package, run:

python setup.py install

from nlp_rake import rake

stoppath = 'data/stoplists/SmartStoplist.txt'

rake_object = rake.Rake(stoppath, 5, 3, 4)

sample_file = open("data/docs/fao_test/w2167e.txt", 'r', encoding="iso-8859-1")
text = sample_file.read()

keywords = rake_object.run(text)

# 3. print results
print("Keywords:", keywords)
