NLTK POS tagset help not working

I downloaded nltk tagset help is not working.

Whenever I try to access tagset meanings by:-

nltk.help.upenn_tagset('NN')

I get result as :-

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#30>", line 1, in <module>
nltk.help.upenn_tagset('NN')
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\nltk\help.py", line 25, in upenn_tagset
_format_tagset("upenn_tagset", tagpattern)
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\nltk\help.py", line 39, in _format_tagset
tagdict = load("help/tagsets/" + tagset + ".pickle")
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\nltk\data.py", line 774, in load
opened_resource = _open(resource_url)
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\nltk\data.py", line 888, in _open
return find(path_, path + ['']).open()
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\nltk\data.py", line 618, in find
raise LookupError(resource_not_found)
LookupError: 
**********************************************************************

Searched in:

- 'E:\\nltk_data'
- 'C:\\Python34\\nltk_data'
- 'C:\\Python34\\lib\\nltk_data'
- 'C:\\Users\\aarushi\\AppData\\Roaming\\nltk_data'

But I already downloaded tagset from models tab by nltk.download()

So what am I doing wrong here?

Hi ,

Check for above tagged image to summarize what exactly needs to be downloaded.

One of the fastest and easiest way to resolve this issue by downloading the help_tagsets from nltk.download() .

One can follow below steps:-

open your jupyter notebook or python shell in your OS(thru terminal).

ask for nltk.download() - (shell/jupyter) - it will open the GUI.

search the help_datasets in ALL PACKAGES column.

Just download it :-) Here you go .

As nltk is telling you, it searched for the file help/tagsets/upenn_tagset.pickle in the directories:

- 'C:\\Users\\aarushi/nltk_data'
- 'C:\\nltk_data'
- 'D:\\nltk_data'
- 'E:\\nltk_data'
- 'C:\\Python34\\nltk_data'
- 'C:\\Python34\\lib\\nltk_data'
- 'C:\\Users\\aarushi\\AppData\\Roaming\\nltk_data'

And could not find it.

Is it there?

If not, use nltk.download() to get it, and make sure it's in one of these directories.
