[Jython-bugs] [issue1398] Unable to run NLTK on Jython 2.5 final

[Raghavan <re...@bu...>]

New submission from Raghavan <rag...@ne...>:

I tried to run NLTK 0.99 on Jython 2.5 (final) expecting it to work
since nltk was compatible with cPython 2.5. I got the following errors
though (pointing to some missing zlib constants in Jython 2.5) .

>>> import nltk                                         
/home/raghavan/mystuff/nltk0.99/nltk-0.9.9/nltk/sem/__init__.py:24:

It looks like we are missing a few constants in zlib, I bet they are
either new since 2.2/2.3 and haven't been added or they are somehow
incompatible with Java's compression support (I'm not up on this stuff
at the moment)
