My python string consists of ' instead of ' (single quotes). My current objective is to expand compound words like It's to It is, Haven't to Have not.
"This has been great for me. I've been on it for 2 weeks and in the last week I only had 3 headaches which went away with 2 Tylenol. I was having chronic daily headaches that wouldn't go away no matter what I took. I'm still a little sleepy during the day, but I know that will get better."
The above statement is an example of the sentence I've been trying to convert.
Can someone suggest a way to convert this into the string format?
text = "This has been great for me. I've been on it for 2 weeks and in the last week I only had 3 headaches which went away with 2 Tylenol. I was having chronic daily headaches that wouldn't go away no matter what I took. I'm still a little sleepy during the day, but I know that will get better."
d_contraction = {"I'm":"I am","wouldn't":"would not","I've":"I have"}
updated_text = text.replace(''', "'")
print(updated_text)
for k,v in d_contraction.items():
updated_text = updated_text.replace(k,v)
print(updated_text)
Output:

The above code will work for the text you have provided. Basically, you will have to create a dictionary of all the possible contractions examples - they'll, ther're, etc.
