when I executed the below code in python 2.7 CLI
import nltk
it is showing the following error
SyntaxError:Invalid Syntax
Traceback (most recent call last):

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
How to fix this?

The python pip invalid syntax error is occurring because pip is run from the command line, not the Python interpreter. It is a program that installs modules, so you can use them from Python. Once you have installed the module, then you can open the Python shell and do import selenium.
NLTK is a toolkit build for working with NLP in Python. It provides us various text processing libraries with a lot of test datasets. A variety of tasks can be performed using NLTK such as tokenizing, parse tree visualization, etc…
x += 1 is an augmented assignment statement in Python. You cannot use statements inside the print statement , that is why you get the syntax error. You can only use Expressions there.
nltk dropped support to Python2, Try to use older versions of nltk in which it supports python 2 and I found out that nltk 3.0 version supports python 2 [edited - Thanks to user2357112 supports Monica ]
So, Try to download and install previous versions of nltk with the command
pip install nltk==3.0
You can change the version number which is 3.0 in the above mentioned case and can install suitable version whichever you feels working.
It worked for me.If anyone facing same problem can try above mentioned method.

The code is using the print function, which in Python 2.7 has to be enabled with
from __future__ import print_function
However, this has to appear in the module being imported, not the code importing the module. nltk appears to assume it will be imported by a Python 3 interpreter.
