POS Tagging

[Hephzibah]

I just started working on POS tagging with these codes:

import nltk
text = nltk.word_tokenize("And now for something completely
different")
#print text
print nltk.pos_tag(text)

Python prompted me to download a resource with these codes:

Resource 'taggers/maxent_treebank_pos_tagger/english.pickle' not
found. Please use the NLTK Downloader to obtain the resource:

I download the resources available using nltk.download(). But I
couldn't run POS tagger. Python gave my the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Python25/tag practices.py", line 5, in <module>
print nltk.pos_tag(text)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\nltk\tag\__init__.py", line 62,
in pos_tag
tagger = nltk.data.load(_POS_TAGGER)
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\nltk\data.py", line 492, in load
resource_val = pickle.load(_open(resource_url))
File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\nltk\classify\maxent.py", line
57, in <module>
import numpy
ImportError: No module named numpy

Can someone pls. tell me what I'm supposed to do next?

Thanks,

Install numpy would be my first guess.

Install numpy would be my first guess.

Thanks so much

I've been able to resolve the issue.
What I did was to run the program after downloading and installing
i. a newer version of Python -version 26
ii. pyPAML
iii.numpy
iv.matplotlib; all from www.nltk.org.
