Question on Python version to use

[Irina Lobzhanidze]

Dear All,

I am using Windows 10, 64-bit version  and today tried to install nltk module as described in the book, but got a message that "python version -32 is required, which wasn't found in the registry". May be somebody can assist me with the decision to that problem, I really am unable to find an appropriate version of python to use. I have installed Python 3.6.2 than Python 2.7.13

Sincerely,

I am facing the same problem. I am using a Windows 7/64 computer. I have tried various versions of Python 32, including 3.5.4 and 3.6.4. But I always get the error message: "python version -32 is required, which wasn't found in the registry". I have spent a lot of time trying to get nltk-3.2.5.win32 to install, but the install fails every time. I have installed and uninstalled various 32 bit versions of Python. Restarted my computer several times, etc. I see others are having the same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

As there was suggested by Dimitriadis, A. You can avoid this problem by installing the nltk from the Windows CMD prompt command line at Windows with `pip install nltk`. I have used this option and it finely works .

Sincerely,

OK. Thanks. With some more investigation, that worked. Thank you. The additional info is that you first have to find that pip.exe program, which is in:

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Scripts

Then change to that directory and run:

`pip install nltk`

It would seem to me that this vital information should be in the nltk installation guidance on this page:
