using nltk.txt for downloading stopwords

[ngingihy]

I'm deploying my flask app. I have 'nltk' in 'requirements.txt' and same root directory have 'ntlk.txt' and only have 'stopwords' in it.

And in my main.py file i have the nltk.download('stopwords'). The issue is while deployment using ci/cd i keep getting this error.

I tried changing EOL to linux using notepad++ but still getting the same exact error

NLTK doesn't download the stopwords from a nltk.txt file. To the best of my knowledge, such a file does nothing. However, I can't tell why you're getting a "Connection reset by peer" error when trying to run nltk.download("stopwords"). Perhaps you can run the downloading via the terminal instead, i.e. python -m nltk.downloader stopwords

I'm installing the libraries using pip install requirements.txt through automated jobs
