getting error 'module' object is not callable

[Freeda]

Hi,
I am using the follwoing:

>>>from nltk import wordnet as wn
>>>wn.synsets('dog')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'synsets'


If I use this,
>>> wn.synset('dog')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


This I tuk it from the tutorial. How shud I proceed..?


Thanks,
Freeda

Hey Freeda,

Hrm, it looks like the packages have moved around a little bit. This
works for me, though:

>>> from nltk import wordnet as wn

>>> wn.wordnet.synsets("dog")
[Synset('dog.n.01'), Synset('frump.n.01'), Synset('dog.n.03'),
Synset('cad.n.01'), Synset('frank.n.02'), Synset('pawl.n.01'),
Synset('andiron.n.01'), Synset('chase.v.01')]

Could you send a link to the tutorial that you're using?

Thanks!

Hrm, so the examples in the book still work fine, at least for me!

I reorganised NLTK's top level imports, and tested things as well as I could (we're still getting our testing process fixed up, so I might have overlooked something).

In general, if a book example doesn't work, please check that you've got the latest version of NLTK installed, and if the problem persists, report it via the NLTK issue tracker, or else to this list.

Thanks,
