Is it possible to extend the AFINN dictionary in afinn?

Well, yes. There is no stable interface for that, but hidden functions can be used.

from afinn import Afinn

afinn = Afinn(language='en')

afinn._dict.update({'coffee': -2, 'tea': +7})

print(afinn.score('coffee or tea?'))

afinn._setup_pattern_from_dict()

print(afinn.score('coffee or tea?'))

Here the first print prints 0.0 while the second prints 5.0.
