ImportError: No module named simplify

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to import simplify_wsj_tag:

 File "parser-test2.py", line 2, in <module>
    from nltk.tag.simplify import simplify_wsj_tag
ImportError: No module named simplify

The code is very simple:

import nltk
from nltk.tag.simplify import simplify_wsj_tag

I have nltk installed so I'm not sure why this error is coming up.

Open an interpreter, type `nltk.download()`. When the GUI opens up look for simplify and download it. — cs95, Jun 22 '17 at 05:01
You might want to check the import basics (like including `__init__.py` in your directories) here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7587457/importerror-no-module-named-python?rq=1 — SimpleBeat, Jun 22 '17 at 05:02
@Coldspeed I was not able to find Simplify or tag in the NLTK Downloader — James, Jun 22 '17 at 05:06

It used to be in NLTK 2.0, not in the newer version 3.2.4. See the docs here.
