I'm unable to import stopwords by using from stop_words import stopwords
as they state that the module does not exist. Is there another command I can put in to remove around 900 stopwords?
Im aware of the 100+ stopwords command but I'm trying to find a command that removes around 900 stopwords.

You can use nltk
library for this easily. First you need to install it by going to a shell and pip install nltk
(note for python 3 go for pip3
instead of pip
). After that you can easily got and download a stopwords corpus directly from python through nltk like this:
import nltk
nltk.download('stopwords')
Now that you have the corpus downloaded, you can use it like this:
from nltk.corpus import stopwords
print(stopwords.words('english'))
This will print out a list of all the stopwords in english corpus. Other languages are available.
