In attempting to use nltk.stem.WordNetLemmatizer() I get the error below.
LookupError:
**********************************************************************
Resource wordnet not found.
Please use the NLTK Downloader to obtain the resource:
>>> import nltk
>>> nltk.download('wordnet')
For more information see: https://www.nltk.org/data.html
When I go to run this
import nltk
nltk.download('wordnet')
I get this Parse Error

I ran the code in Jupyter Notebook originally, restarted the kernel and tried again. I also tried running it in the Python interpreter. Every time has given me the same error.
nltk version is 3.7
There may be other solutions to my issue, what I ended up doing to solve this problem was manually downloading wordnet from https://www.nltk.org/nltk_data/ and saving the file where the documentation tells you to (C:\nltk_data\corpora\wordnet)
