How to configure Stanford Parser in Python with NLTK 3.6.0?

Question

I followed instructions in the following link (which is for previous versions of NLTK): Stanford Parser and NLTK.

I got the following errors when I typed in: sentences = parser.raw_parse_sents(("Hello, My name is Melroy.", "What is your name?")).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py", line 2885, in run_code

Could anyone give an example (with step-by-step instruction) of how exactly is Stanford Parser configured and used with NLTK 3.6.0 (Python 2)? Thanks!

Well, you have the command `/usr/bin/java -mx1000m -cp /Users/su/Desktop/OJO/STANFORD_PARSE/stanford-parser-3.6.0-models.jar: -sentences newline -outputFormat penn -encoding utf8 /var/folders/8j/ptm7g49n12g94wn8cn44frr40000gn/T/tmp7mHjA3` which is executed by python, and failed. Have you tried to run this command manually? What results did it give? However I suppose that `var/folders/8j/ptm7g49n12g94wn8cn44frr40000gn/T/tmp7mHjA3` is a temporary folder for some intermediate data, so you should check if it really exists right now. — user3159253, May 08 '16 at 16:23
