Really cool idea!

Unfortunately, I'm getting a 500 error on every request.

What did I do wrong?

I got this problem too.

I solved it by downloading 'averaged_perceptron_tagger' from nltk.

>>>import nltk

>>>nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')

I tried both 2.7.10 and 3.6.0.

I've just updated the instructions on the README, let me know if you still can't get it working after that.

Hey. Can't get it working. Still get a 500 error on every request. Followed all instructions on the README. Checked for the presence of averaged_perceptron_tagger and punkt, too.

I have the same issue with both 2.7.10 and 3.5.1 after following the steps in your readme.

Managed it by doing nltk.download('punkt')
