nltk Manual Data Download Python 3.6

[hossein.abdoll...@verizonwireless.com]

Hello Team,

I manually downloaded what supposed to get downloaded by data_download() and they sit in a folder lets say in this directory:

"C:\\Users\\abdolho\\AppData\\Roaming\\nltk_data"

Now I will do the following

nltk_data_path = "C:\\Users\\abdolho\\AppData\\Roaming\\nltk_data"

nltk.data.path.append(nltk_data_path)

Then I do 

from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

from nltk.corpus import stopwords

set(stopwords.words('english'))

Now my question is:

Why I still get errors saying:

Resource stopwords not found.
  Please use the NLTK Downloader to obtain the resource:

  >>> import nltk
  >>> nltk.download('stopwords')
  
  Searched in: 

- 'C:\\Users\\abdolho\\AppData\\Roaming\\nltk_data'

Thanks
