I can this specific error while download nltk


import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')

showing error:

[nltk_data] Error loading punkt: <urlopen error [WinError 10060] A
[nltk_data]     connection attempt failed because the connected party
[nltk_data]     did not properly respond after a period of time, or
[nltk_data]     established connection failed because connected host
[nltk_data]     has failed to respond>

I have pip installed nltk and tried downloading the full nltk version for my learning.

# I used this key to download full version
import nltk
nltk.download()

showing the error: WinError 10060


Solution

  • Changing the network to another wifi connection worked for me. The previous connection had some sort of blockers for me. Hope this helps.
