error problems for import some copora with nltk

[ekyungchung]

I did install the python 2.4 and nltk.
I am trying to follow the tutorial, but I kept getting error messages
about importing corpus as follows

================================================== =

from nltk.corpus import gutenberg

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in -toplevel-
from nltk.corpus import gutenberg
ImportError: cannot import name gutenberg
================================================== =

I got the data files under c:\\python24\nltk\
Do you know why I can't get the result?
Any help?

Thanks in advance,

what happens if you import "nltk" ? if you still get an exception, you haven't
installed nltk in a proper way; double-checking the installation instructions might
help.

if importing nltk works, check if there's a "\python24\nltk\corpus\gutenberg.py"
or similar file.

if both the above are try, try doing this before importing the gutenberg module:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "c:/python24")
