python rake-nltk/setup.py install error: package directory 'rake_nltk' does not exist

Hello,

I am getting the following error message "error: package directory 'rake_nltk' does not exist" when installing rake-nltk with:
git clone https://github.com/csurfer/rake-nltk.git
python rake-nltk/setup.py install :

I also tried the option pip install rake-nltk but the installation also fails:

File "/tmp/pip-build-2zTHYP/rake-nltk/setup.py", line 17, in _post_install
import nltk
ImportError: No module named nltk

I would appreciate if you could help me out with that.

Kind regards

Having same issue.

Take a look here: #30 (comment) AFAICT the issue is with the nltk module not being properly installed when its installed as part of rake-nltk's chain of dependencies. You may need some or all of the commands in that comment. I was able to get away with just running the first step (pip install -U nltk).

That should solve the issue you are both having.

Same issue. No idea how to solve.

running install
running build
running build_py
