The 'worddb' module, which contains syllable counts, was built from the 'rhyme' word lookup table, by reading the whole thing into a regular dict, cutthin the stored values down to just the syllable count, and serializing the whole repr() out to a worddb.py file, prepended with "worddb = ". (Thanks for Micah Dubinko for this)
To rebuild from the 'rhyme' db, you will need to grab a copy from http://rhyme.sourceforge.net/ and create a gdbm file for your platform.
