Does NltkNet the NLTK wrapper class support .NET core web applications or only console applications?

Question

When I try to Initialize the NltkNet object in my dotnet core web application I receive an error saying an assembly is not found or has a different manifest definition than its assembly reference.

The code is fairly simple, it does nothing at all except initialize an NltkNet object when a button is clicked.

public IActionResult Upload()
{
    Nltk.Init(new List<string>()
    {
        @"C:\IronPython27\Lib",
        @"C:\IronPython27\Lib\site-packages",
    });


            return View();
        }

I was able to get the exact same code to work in my console application without issue.

Is this a configuration issue on my end or is ASP.NET core MVC web application support not available for NltkNet?

Answer 1

I have discovered that NltkNet does not support dotnet core.
