Fixes #1017
NLTK 3.9 moved the default punkt tokenizer from
tokenizers/punkt/english.pickletotokenizers/punkt_tab/english. On a fresh install with NLTK >= 3.9 onlypunkt_tabis downloaded, so callingsplit_sentences()raises aLookupErroreven when NLTK is properly installed.What this changes:
newspaper/nlp.py-split_sentences()now tries the old path first and falls back topunkt_tabif not found. Works with both old and new NLTK versions.download_corpora.py- addspunkt_tabtoREQUIRED_CORPORAso it gets downloaded alongsidepunkt.PR #1006 already adds
punkt_tabto the download list, but the runtime crash innlp.pystill happens if onlypunkt_tabis available. This fixes both.
