从 python shell (nltk) 下载数据时出错（urlopen）

Question

I have tried:

1. Changing server index

2. Updating proxy

3. Re-installing python and nltk

4. Downloading numpy ( It was installed properly but threw an exception on cleaning)

   I want to download a stopword list. If this doesn't workout, I will really appreciate if you can suggest me a way to do the same by downloading zip files and physically storing them in the folder or any other method. Thank you!

Here are the error snippets: 1.

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Oct 26 2016, 20:30:19) 
[GCC 4.8.4]enter code here on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import nltk
>>>     nltk.download('all')
[nltk_data] Error loading all:
        < urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection
[nltk_data]     refused>
False

2.

>>> nltk.download()

Answer 1

Have you looked at the nltk's instructions for downloading via a proxy server ?

If that doesn't work somehow, you can always download what you need on a computer that's not behind a proxy, then copy the whole nltk_data folder to a suitable location on the intended computer.

Answer 2

insted of using

nltk.download()

try using

nltk.download_gui()

it worked for me
