Error importing TextBlob due to nltk

[csastry12]

I am running Python 3.3.2, and installed TextBlob 0.7.1. However, I am not able to import TextBlob, and it seems the problem is with nltk. Please see the error below

from text.blob import TextBlob
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in
from text.blob import TextBlob
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\text\blob.py", line 28, in
from text.packages import nltk
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\text\packages.py", line 12, in
import nltk
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\text\nltk__init__.py", line 116, in
from . import ccg
ImportError: cannot import name ccg

I know TextBlob does a nltk installation, but it seems to be an import error from nltk because when I import nltk, I get the same error

import nltk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#10>", line 1, in
import nltk
File "C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\text\nltk__init__.py", line 116, in
from . import ccg
ImportError: cannot import name ccg

Appreciate any thoughts you might have on how I can fix this.

Cheers

Do you have your own version of NLTK installed? If so, which version?

[sloria]

Also, does this occur when you install TextBlob in a fresh virtualenv?

For what it's worth, I just pip installed TextBlob in a fresh Py3.3 virtualenv, and didn't experience this issue. I could import TextBlob without issue, and import nltk itself without issue.

Closing for now. Please let me know if the issue comes up again.
