I am trying to use nltk in python, but am receiving a pop up error (windows) describing that I am missing a drive at the moment I call import nltk
Does anyone know why or how to fix this?
The error is below:
"There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk4\DR4."
NLTK searches for nltk_data directory until it finds one.
On Windows, these locations are scanned: %userprofile%\nltk_data, C:\nltk_data, D:\nltk_data, and so on.
Installing NLTK data or creating an empty directory solves the error.
http://www.nltk.org/data.html
My installation is Win 10, Python 3.5.2 64-bit, nltk 3.2.1 (Christoph Gohlke's binary).
While i am not sure exactly where the problem arises, I had this same error happen to me (it started 'overnight' - the code had been working, i hand not re-installed nltk, so i have no idea what caused it to start happening). I still had the problem after upgrading to the latest version of nltk (3.2.1), and re-downloading the nltk data.
shiratori's answer helped me solve my problem, although at least for me it was slightly more complicated. Specifically, my nltk data was stored in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\nltk_data (i think this is a default location). This is where it had always been stored, and always had worked fine, however suddenly nltk did not seem to be recognizing this location, and hence looked in the next drive. To solve it, I copied and pasted all the data in that folder to C:\nltk_data and now it is running fine again.
Anyway, not sure if this is Windows induced problem, or what exactly changed to cause code that was working to stop working, but this solved it.
I had the same problem (Win 7, Python 3.6.5, nltk 3.3).
A simpler solution is to just define the Windows environment variable NLTK_DATA. In my case (like #kyrenia), the data is in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\nltk_data.
This solution is described in the nltk 3.3 documentation: http://www.nltk.org/data.html
If you did not install the data to one of the above central locations, you will need to set the NLTK_DATA environment variable to specify the location of the data. (On a Windows machine, right click on “My Computer” then select Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > User Variables > New...)

I know this is a problem that's been asked here before, but I have tried all the solutions I found and not solved it. It's possible I'm not understanding the solutions, but I have tried my best.
I am teaching myself Python and it is slow going, so I don't understand a lot yet. I'm using VSCode as an IDE, Python version 3.10, and Windows 10. I only have the Python extension installed for VSCode. My project files are on a flash drive, D. I replaced a couple folder names with [Default Names] in the text below.
I keep trying to debug/run some code in VSCode and the very first line
import numpy as np
gives me the error
Exception has occurred: ModuleNotFoundError - No module named 'numpy'.
But I know that's not true:
`PS D:\0-Career\Programming\PythonCoding\[ProjectFolder]> py -m pip install numpy
Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\users\[UserID]\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\lib\site-packages (1.23.1)`
I tried the solution of going to
environment variables > system variables > "Path" > edit > new >
c:\users\[UserID]\appdata\local\programs\python\python310\
as well as
C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\
and
C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts\
and I also tried adding a user variable called Python. Nothing appears to have changed as a result of these additions.
Some history if it's helpful:
I first started by installing Python using the Microsoft Store. I used IDLE for a bit, and I used my command line to install pip and numpy. They worked for a little while. I later installed Visual Studio Code IDE. I ultimately have uninstalled the Microsoft Store version and installed the application from the Python site for Windows instead. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled it several times trying to fix my issues, and same for numpy. I also searched my C drive for "python" and burned everything from the past couple days and reinstalled and repaired it out of desperation. No luck.
I have tried to the best of my ability to uninstall everything and reinstall everything to start fresh, because numpy worked ever so briefly early on in IDLE, I think until I had installed the web download version of Python. I don't really understand environment variables, so I'm not sure what I'm doing or if I'm doing that wrong, or what needs to be restarted when I try something new, so it's possible I missed something.
Answers a 10 year old could understand would be appreciated! Or terminology I can easily research for an explanation of how to do it.
Ctrl+Shift+P open Command Palette
choose Python:Select Interpreter
Choose the right interpreter
Go to https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
Also Check 64 bit or 32 bit
Download the latest version
and open the location where you downloaded the NumPy module now press the 'SHIFT' key and press right-click on the mouse then a menu will open where you find open PowerShell. open it now PowerShell window opens in the folder now type pip install and the file name and press the TAB button and click enter. then the NumPy module will be installed.

Try adding the variable PYTHONPATH to your system variables and add the following paths to this variable.
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL\DLLs
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL\Lib
C:\PATH_TO_YOUR_PYTHON_INSTALL\Scripts
It should look something like this.
Screenshot of Environment Variables
After you added the variable restart your VS Code and it should work.
I hope this helps.
I'm running a python script and it used to work (it even does on my other laptop right now) but not on my current computer - I just get the error code:
Process finished with exit code -1073741515 (0xC0000135)
I don't get any other results - not even from "print" commands at the beginning of the file.
I haven't found anything specific to that.
I re-installed python (2.7.9), pygame (1.9.1) and even pycharm (tried 4.5 first, now with 5.0 - same result)
Does anyone know what that error code means? I couldn't find anything about it.
reinstall python – you don't have python33.dll in c:\WINDOWS\system32\
Maybe you have different python versions – look at folders in root of c:
If yes, then point to your version of python.exe in pyCharm > Settings > Project Interpreter
This may be due to another program locking that memory location.
Before you try more drastic measures, know that restarting the computer fixed the problem for me.
The error seems to be related to issues in native code (e.g. C/C++) and might be related to issues in loading some dll file. To know which file, the Windows "Event Viewer" is your friend.
The "Event Viewer" -> "Windows Logs" -> "Application" feed usually shows one or more rows for each crashed application and one of them should list the problematic filename.
Personally I observed similar issue with matplotlib on Python 3.9 (installed using Anaconda on Windows 10). I could see this kind of error when the code was executed using PyCharm. The same code just crashed with no visible errors when starting from Anaconda console.
The Event viewer then showed issue with freetype.dll. In this case, the problem was fixed by downgrading the packege from 2.11.0 to 2.10.4:
conda install freetype=2.10.4
Depending on the exact issue, I could imagine that removing pycache folder might help (like mentioned in other answers). Also, sometimes it might make sense to look at the PATH environment variable to actually understand why certain dll file is loaded from such a location.
I got this error in PyCharm after upgrading pyarrow to the most recent version -- 0.16 --- using pip, running the same code I had ran before this update which used pandas read_parquet specifying the engine="pyarrow" triggering use of this library. After uninstalling and installing the previous version with
pip install pyarrow=="0.15"
the problem resolved.
I encountered the same error when running .py in PyCharm on Windows. Inspired by https://thenewboston.com/forum/topic.php?id=10088, I uninstalled and reinstalled Python. When reinstalling, I checked the ADD PYTHON TO THE PATH Option. After recreating the virtual environment in PyCharm, the error was gone.
Update: On another Windows PC (64-bit), I encountered the same error where reinstalling Python was not enough. I tried two things.
Uninstalling 32-bit Python and installing 64-bit Python. Namely downloading python-3.6.4-amd64.exe instead of python-3.6.4.exe
Recreating the Pycharm project from github.
Between the two actions, the error was gone.
taskkill /F /IM python.exe
Try this if it just happened out of the bloom and it worked normally before that error occurred.
I solved it by disabling "PyQt compatible" checkbox in the Settings under Build, Execution, Deployment --> Python Debugger.
After that, it should debug properly.
Here is caused it and solution:
The computer had two physical processors. The code uses Numba for parallel computations. Upon disabling and re-enabling hyperthreading this issue started. To solve it clear pycache folder and run the program.
I encountered this error in my code as well, in my case the problem was sharing pickle which produced in Unix machine one a Windows one.
**I faced the same situation and the malfunction stems from trying to run both terminal processor and graphical user interfaces. When I clicked the button program stopped running **
Solution: I disabled terminal inputs and work with graphics.
For example:
if you do this
entry1=Entry(root,width=10).pack()
variable= str(input("Whats your name?"))
You will see the error.
if you delete either entry1 or variable, you will not see the problem.
If you're trying create a .svm use dlib probably the problem is in .xml, some image that you use is cause the problem. Try to create a new .xml putting out a image(any image) or remove that your .xml and test, try this even you find out the image problem.
For exemple, the image "treinamento3.jpg" was the problem. I removed this command line:
< image file='delirium\treinamento3.jpg'>
< box top='213' left='86' width='46' height='49'/ >
< box top='531' left='47' width='125' height='123'/ >
< /image >
from my .xml for solve my problem.
I was having an error where any python command sent in the CMD would return a huge string of errors terminating with AttributeError: module 'tokenize' has no attribute 'open'. I could not find a solution anywhere and I resorted to re-install windows as my antivirus was not launching and I thought, "oh great one of those viruses". Long story short it wasn't a virus, just a neglected program that broke and needed repairing, and now it's fine. Unfortunately, python was still buggered. So I uninstalled and reinstalled python. I then went to use pip to download the modules I use. I installed pycolorama just fine, but IMMEDIATELY after installing pyenchant I get the same exact problem. I cant use pip list -v to find where it's installed. Furthermore, I don't understand why a python module would have a file called tokenize when I would assume it is known that python already has a file called tokenize. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am using pyEnchant's spell check to make sure that the user entry is in fact a word in the English dictionary. If there is a better way to do that in the same amount of code:
import enchant
d = enchant.Dict("en_US");
word=input();
if d.check(word) :
Words.append(word);
then by all means please just say use this module and bugger enchant
I have just installed Anaconda 5.3 64-bit (Anaconda3-5.3.0-Windows-x86_64) on Windows 10 and am getting this error when trying to run Spyder.
pythonw.exe - Ordinal Not Found
The ordinal could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Users\username\Anaconda3\Library\bin\mkl_intel_thread.dll.
I used Dependency Walker to view the functions in the DLL and see that ordinal 242 is there. The function associated with ordinal 242 is mkl_blas_zherk.
Could anyone help me fix this or direct me to a resource to help me figure it out myself?
The quick answer:
set CONDA_DLL_SEARCH_MODIFICATION_ENABLE=1
I set a user environment variable for this.
The official answer is here.
If you are running Python/IPython from a console, check the priority of libiomp5md.dll using where, i.e.:
where libiomp5md.dll
This may show a few absolute paths (one per line) to different libiomp5md.dll files. A healthy setup should list Anaconda's at the top (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\bin\libiomp5md.dll), and if there are any others listed below, they can be ignored as they have lower priority.
However, if you see a different libiomp5md.dll path at the top, then this will be loaded first, and may conflict with Anaconda's DLLs. If this file is in the current directory, then either change directory to a folder without this file, or (if possible) delete or rename the conflicting DLL file. If it's in a different folder, then you may need to re-arrange your PATH variable to move Anaconda's before other paths.
This is not a proper answer, but for me (having the exact same problem) a workaround was to downgrade "anaconda" to 5.2.0 with the Anaconda Navigator. If that works for you, too, you could start upgrading individual packages to see when the error reappears. Maybe it is a bug in one of the packages, not a problem with our systems.
Edit: Here are some links to similar or related discussions:
entry point mkl_blas_dgem2vu could not be located
https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/7357
More edit:
It also helped me to find the following files in "C:\Windows\System32" and rename them (I just appended "_renamed" to the file name).
mkl_core.dll
mkl_def.dll
mkl_intel_thread.dll
If I understand correctly, Python will use those instead of the ones in the Anaconda folder, which can cause problems.
['System32\libiomp5md.dll', 'System32\mkl_core.dll',
'System32\mkl_def.dll','System32\mkl_intel_thread.dll',
'SysWOW64\libiomp5md.dll','SysWOW64\mkl_core.dll','SysWOW64\mkl_intel_thread.dll',
'SysWOW64\mkl_p4.dll', 'SysWOW64\mkl_p4m.dll','SysWOW64\mkl_p4m3.dll',
'SysWOW64\mkl_p4p.dll']
Remove all these dll files from C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and C:\Windows\System32
Just do this and restart the spyder once again and hurrrahhhh!!! ur problem will be solved and spyder will open without showing any ordinal 242 error............just do it it is the only solution..
What fixed this issue for me was to uninstall Amplitube and ActiveState Python. I was receiving this exception while using Anaconda prompt and some NLP packages.
I had the same problem and after trying many solutions, including the above, I finally managed to solve it.
First, open command prompt(Administrator) and input:
set CONDA_DLL_SEARCH_MODIFICATION_ENABLE=1
Then, launch the Spyder IDE, always using the command prompt by simply inputting:
spyder
It is important to always launch spyder with the command prompt. If you launch Spyder with the Anaconda Navigator, it will still give you the error message.
Following #Azrael_DD's solution to downgrade to anaconda v5.2.0, you can also do it through a normal console:
conda install anaconda=5.2.0
Another way which Works for me (I deleted all DLL files but the problem continued) was to downgrade ANACONDA to Anaconda3-5.2.0-Windows-x86_64.
I got the installer in this link
