Tokenizing With NLTK

Use a real tokenizer for messy text.

A Real Tokenizer

Time to upgrade. NLTK is a classic Python library that gives you a proper tokenizer for messy, real-world text. 🛠️

You install it once with pip, then import it in your script. From there, NLTK's word_tokenize is one function call away.

from nltk import word_tokenize
