I have installed NLTK module but when I try to install the data I am getting the error below.
>>>import nltk
>>> nltk.download('punkt')
[nltk_data] Error loading punkt: <urlopen error [Errno 11004]
[nltk_data] getaddrinfo failed>
False
How should I install the data?
The issue might be of the Proxy that is setup in the system.
instead of:
import nltk
nltk.download()
use:
nltk.set_proxy('SYSTEM PROXY')
nltk.download()
This should solve the problem. And to find the proxy of the system: seach proxy in start option of windows.
I understand this is a very old question but wanted to share my experience for anyone who may experience this situation in future. What i did was (in windows 10) -
set HTTP_PROXY=http://userid:password@proxyurl:port
set HTTPS_PROXY=http://userid:password@proxyurl:port
set FTP_PROXY=http://userid:password@proxyurl:port
python -m nltk.downloader
