PyEnchant without German dictionary

Question
Thanks to Stackoverflow, I learnt about pyenchant library.
I am looking for German dictionary "de_DE" to use through enchant, but could not find one. Where can I get it and which directory should I put it so that pyenchant can see it?
I am using a linux box running Ubuntu.
Solution
From the terminal type:
sudo apt-get install myspell-de-de
You can check that you have it available, from a Python prompt type:
import enchant
print enchant.list_languages()
To check it works, from a Python prompt type:
import enchant
d = enchant.Dict('de_DE')
d.check("Hello") # False
d.check("Guten") # True
