Error when trying the demo CoreNLP script

[Shreyans Jasoriya]

Hi,

from stanfordnlp.server import CoreNLPClient

import os

os.environ["CORENLP_HOME"] = r'C:\Users\Shreyans\Downloads\stanford-ner-2018-10-16\stanford-ner-2018-10-16'

text = "Chris Manning is a nice person. Chris wrote a simple sentence. He also gives oranges to people."

client = CoreNLPClient(annotators=['tokenize','ssplit','pos','lemma','ner','depparse','coref'], timeout=30000, memory='8G')

The last line gives me the following error:

TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type

Would you know what causes this problem? And also I didn't understand the installation instructions when they said the move the model jars to the distribution folder. Where is the distribution folder located?

Thanks for your interest in the StanfordNLP library! From your python code, it looks like you're using the NER tool alone instead of the CoreNLP software. Could you try again with the full CoreNLP package? (see https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/)
