I'm trying to download punkt, but I'm getting the following error...
>>> import nltk
>>> nltk.download('punkt')
>>> [nltk_data] Error loading punkt: <urlopen error [SSL] unknown error
>>> [nltk_data] (_ssl.c:590)>
>>> False
>>>
can someone please help I've been trying for days...
I guess the downloader script is broken. As a temporal workaround can manually download the punkt tokenizer from here and then place the unzipped folder in the corresponding location. The default folders for each OS are:
C:\nltk_data\tokenizers/usr/local/share/nltk_data/tokenizers/usr/share/nltk_data/tokenizersI am not sure but you may find this post helpful.
