I am trying to utilize biocreative-ppi package from NLTK on Google Colaboratory and on my personal laptop. However, even though I am able to download the biocreative-ppi package from NLTK, I am not able to access the biocreative_ppi package. I have done the following:

• Uninstalled and reinstalled the nltk package on my laptop and on Google Colaboratory


• Tried to download other packages from NLTK. I was successful at downloading brown


• Spelled biocreative_ppi as biocreative,bcppi, bc_ppi, etc.

Here is the website for biocreative_ppi. As you can see, the package is not deprecated. It should still be available.

Here is the code from my Colaboratory notebook:

import subprocess

import nbformat

import json, os

import random

import spacy

import nltk

import nltk.corpus

nltk.download('brown')

nltk.corpus.brown

nltk.download('biocreative_ppi')

nltk.corpus.biocreative_ppi

[nltk_data] Downloading package brown to /root/nltk_data...

[nltk_data]   Unzipping corpora/brown.zip.

[nltk_data] Error loading biocreative_ppi: Package 'biocreative_ppi'

      2 nltk.corpus.brown

      3 nltk.download('biocreative_ppi')

    120                   'Module load triggered by attribute %r read access' % name)

    121         module = self.__lazymodule_import()

--> 122         return getattr(module, name)

    123 

    124     def __setattr__(self, name, value):



AttributeError: module 'nltk.corpus' has no attribute 'biocreative'

The example above shows I can access brown. The following code will show I can successfully download biocreative_ppi but can't access it.

import subprocess

import nbformat

import json, os

import random

import spacy

import nltk

import nltk.corpus

nltk.download('biocreative_ppi')

nltk.corpus.biocreative_ppi

[nltk_data] Downloading package biocreative_ppi to /root/nltk_data...

[nltk_data]   Package biocreative_ppi is already up-to-date!

I am aware that the biocreative_ppi dataset is also available through Kaggle and Biocreative's GitHub. However, I do not understand why I am able to download biocreative_ppi through nltk but can't access any of the subdirectories or files associated with biocreative_ppi. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thank you for your consideration, and I am open to any suggestions.
