NLTK SSL Errors loading...

[sedemmler]

I didn't see this directly addressed earlier, but please correct me if I missed it.

I'm receiving these NLTK related errors when running ChatBot (but no issues when I'm coding up NLTK separately on another project.

Any guidance would be wonderful. Thanks guys.

@sedemmler I don't see any issues on my machine hp pro-book 440 g3

However the post suggested workaround related to SSL , i am not sure how this will effect on other platforms? @gunthercox any comments?

import nltk
import ssl

try:
    _create_unverified_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
except AttributeError:
    pass
else:
    ssl._create_default_https_context = _create_unverified_https_context

nltk.download()

I appreciate you taking a look. Let me give your suggestion ago tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!

I'm going to close this ticket off because it hasn't been reported again. I'm assuming it could have possibly been a temporary error on the side of the servers hosting NLTK's data.
