Import NLTK : no module NLTK corpus

Question

I have installed NLTK. Here's an image of the installation log.

When i use import nltk i get an error:

"No module named NLTK.corpus"

Here is a screenshot.

What could be the cause?

Answer 1

I think I had the same problem. So, downloading all the packages at once (since question didn't specify).

Start python and then import the packages, exit python and upgrade nltk. Modify the 'all' to download a specific corpus. Took me awhile to complete the 'all' download, I separately downloaded framenet_v15 and restarted the 'all' after. Upgrade nltk when the download is complete.

$ python
>>>import nltk
>>>nltk.download('all')

exit python

$ pip install --upgrade nltk

To fix this, you should rename your file to something else, say nltkXXX.py. Also make sure to remove "nltk.pyc" from your directory if it exists, since this will also be loaded (it's the byte compiled version of your code). After that, it should work fine.
