Linking SFST with python?

Question

I've used SFST language for my project on Natural Language Processing. How do I link or import SFST to my python code?

some link I referred:

http://home.gna.org/pysfst/tests/intro.html ftp://ftp.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/corpora/SFST/SFST-Manual.pdf

commands from the first link isn't working and sfst is not being setup.

(I can't comment, so I'll write my comment here:)

It seems that pysfst is currently outdated (anyone please correct me if I'm wrong). I also couldn't install pysfst via pip. Like @jeevan, I also tried to build pysfst from the sources (http://download.gna.org/pysfst/pysfst-1.1.3.tar.bz2), but failed.

I think the problem is that according to http://gna.org/projects/pysfst, pysfst supports SFST version 1.1. The latest SFST version at this time is 1.4.7a. The Ubuntu packages sfst and libsfst1-4 support SFST version 1.4.6g. Compiling pysfst requires SFST 1.1 sources, which are currently not available from the SFST home page (http://www.cis.uni-muenchen.de/~schmid/tools/SFST/).
