Bah, forgot the list strips attachments. Here it is inline:
#!/usr/bin/python
import nltk
import os
# adjust the following path to wherever you prefer, by default it
# installs in ${HOME}/nltk_data/
# e.g. change it to DOWNLOAD_DIR='/tmp/nltk'
# note that surrounding the path in quotes is important
DOWNLOAD_DIR=None
# adjust below if you want to download something other than 'all'
CORPUS='all'
if DOWNLOAD_DIR and not os.path.exists(DOWNLOAD_DIR):
os.mkdir(DOWNLOAD_DIR)
d =
nltk.downloader.Downloader(server_index_url="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nltk/nltk_data/gh-pages/index.xml";,
download_dir=DOWNLOAD_DIR)
d.download(CORPUS)
