Stanford Parser and NLTK

Question

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

Answer 1

I am on a windows machine and you can simply run the parser normally as you do from the command like but as in a different directory so you don't need to edit the lexparser.bat file. Just put in the full path.

cmd = r'java -cp \Documents\stanford_nlp\stanford-parser-full-2015-01-30 edu.stanford.nlp.parser.lexparser.LexicalizedParser -outputFormat "typedDependencies" \Documents\stanford_nlp\stanford-parser-full-2015-01-30\stanford-parser-3.5.1-models\edu\stanford\nlp\models\lexparser\englishFactored.ser.gz stanfordtemp.txt'
parse_out = os.popen(cmd).readlines()

The tricky part for me was realizing how to run a java program from a different path. There must be a better way but this works.
