Downloaded nktk from http://www.nltk.org/getting-started
choose a text editor: http://wiki.python.org/moin/HowToEditPythonCode so I chose Eclipse.
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonEditors “Eclipse is … an open extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particular.” Support for Python can be obtained via the PyDEV plugin.”
PyDev:http://pydev.org//manual_101_root.html “This manual assumes that you have already have Python and/or Jython and/or IronPython installed inĀ your machine, as well as Eclipse, Aptana Studio 2 or Aptana Studio 3 (Beta).”
Aptana Studio 3: http://www.aptana.com/downloads/start
PyDev again: http://pydev.org//manual_101_install.html “PyDev already comes preinstalled in Aptana Studio 3, so, this step can be skipped (note that if Aptana Studio 3 is used, PyDev cannot be installed or update separately, as it must always be updated as a whole).”
