How to get specific ranged words from raw corpus?

Question

import nltk   
import nltk.data    

nltk.corpus.brown    
y= nltk.corpus.brown.raw()  
print(y)

When I do print(y) it shows me all of the raw data in this corpus, but I want to get only 10,000 words from this raw corpus. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

You could do :

import random
words = nltk.corpus.brown.words()
random_words = random.sample(words, 10000)
