Stanford Parser and NLTK

Question

Is it possible to use Stanford Parser in NLTK? (I am not talking about Stanford POS.)

Answer 1

Note that this answer applies to NLTK v 3.0, and not to more recent versions.

Since nobody really mentioned and it's somehow troubled me a lot, here is an alternative way to use Stanford parser in python:

stanford_parser_jar = '../lib/stanford-parser-full-2015-04-20/stanford-parser.jar'
stanford_model_jar = '../lib/stanford-parser-full-2015-04-20/stanford-parser-3.5.2-models.jar'    
parser = StanfordParser(path_to_jar=stanford_parser_jar, 
                        path_to_models_jar=stanford_model_jar)

in this way, you don't need to worry about the path thing anymore.

For those who cannot use it properly on Ubuntu or run the code in Eclipse.
