Trouble using python module in web2py

Question

I am trying to use a python module (nltk) in web2py.

I am able to use the module from the python command line without issues. In Web2py I get the error below.

Thanks!

Simple example Code:

import nltk
from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn

def get_thes():
    wn.synset('car.n.01').lemma_names
    return dict()

Error

web2py™ Version 2.5.1-stable+timestamp.2013.06.06.15.39.19
Python  Python 2.7.3: /usr/bin/python (prefix: /usr)

Traceback (most recent call last):

@thefourtheye: I looked at what you did, it looks like you have not yet downloaded the wordnet add-on. Im guessing thats why you get the error. Unless i'm missing something? — user2495294, Jun 18 '13 at 13:37
@thefourtheye. Thanks. I noticed you were using the web2py web server. I am using apache so I tried to do a restart and I now get the same error you do. I went into python and did the nltk download - it tells me that package 'Wordnet' is already up to date. Is there anything specific I need to do in web2py for this? — user2495294, Jun 18 '13 at 14:22

Only the source version of web2py is able to import modules.

Make sure you are not using a compiled version.
