Is there a way to check whether the cili has already been downloaded?

[francis-dion]

I'm about to deploy my solution and I don't want it to download files already downloaded every time it starts.
For lexicons, it can check wn.lexicons() to see if the ones it needs are already present.
As per the documentation, "CILI can be downloaded just like a lexicon"
wn.download('cili:1.0')
Yet, 'cili' doesn't showup in wn.lexicons().
Am I missing something? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Nevermind, I found the answer!
All I had to do is check the wn.projects().
if 'cili' not in [proj['id'] for proj in wn.projects()]:

@francis-dion that is actually not an answer. wn.projects() checks Wn's index, which is a list of projects Wn knows about so it can download them by the project name instead of the URL. It does not say whether the project has been added to the database, but the cache value will be filled if it has been downloaded.

You've discovered a missing feature of Wn, but for now this might work:

>>> import wn
>>> wn.ili('i1').status
'active'

The status of an ILI is active if CILI has been added to the database. If not, the status will be presupposed if the ILI has been observed in a lexicon.

Also apparently missing is the ability to remove CILI from the database:

>>> wn.download('cili')
[...]
>>> wn.remove('cili')
[...]
wn.Error: no lexicon found with lang=None and lexicon='cili'
