After downloading the nltk package, here comes a problem when importing.
Here is my code:
>>>import nltk
However, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Александр\Desktop\TextBlob.py", line 1, in <module>

Just as illustrated above, the problem is related to language coding problems of ntpath.py
From Google and Stackoverflow, a solution works fine.
I inserted following part into ntpath.py:
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('Cp1252')
And the code in this file has been changed to:
import os
import sys
import stat
import genericpath
import warnings
#change
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('Cp1252')
Finally, it works well.
