Hi,
I have unfortunately no experience with CRF++; if there is no python
wrapper for it available, the usage might not be (easily) possible -
depending on the character of this library, you may try accessing it
e.g. via ctypes.

Alternatively, you may try another packages already available, e.g.
NLTK:  http://nltk.org/

>>> import nltk
>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("apple"))
True
>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("bread"))
True
>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("wine"))
True
>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("book"))
False
>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("pencil"))
False

# of course there might be some surprise, probably due to polysemy ore
some specifics of the semantic description...

>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("dog"))
True
>>> any(synset.lexname == "noun.food" for synset in nltk.corpus.wordnet.synsets("white"))
True
>>>
