Hi, What version of spyder are you using, and from what source did you install it?
It seems Spyder is not aware of the location of several python modules: I can see from your spyder traceback that pylab also fails to load, have you installed matplotlib, or can you import pylab from the normal python console? In Spyder, can you import any other modules you have installed? In theory your issue should be fixed by adding the directories of your modules to your PYTONPATH environment variable. In Spyder you can use the PYTHONPATH manager for this: Tool > PYTHONPATH Manager and add the path to your nltk module. Note that this shouldn't be necessary, so their is either something wrong with your Spyder installation, PYTHONPATH or nltk install. You could check which paths are set in your PYTHONPATH environment variable, from a Python/Spyder console: import sys for p in sys.path: print k I don't know how it is on Mac exactly, but I think you should see some entries that contain python/site-packages. There have been some issues on Mac that got solved in the latest beta's recently. If you are not running the latest beta, you could try to install that one.
