Hi Prathap,
Request you to try like this and error will be resolved.
import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
from nltk import sent_tokenize
nltk.download("all")
Once you have done and check it like this ensure that you've the latest version of NLTK because it's always improving and constantly maintain.
pip install --upgrade nltk

The NLTK error "Resource punkt not found" indicates that the punkt tokenizer data is missing. To resolve, run
nltk.download('punkt')in your Python script or console to download the missing data. This ensures NLTK has the necessary resources for tokenization, resolving the "Resource punkt not found" issue.Tuhin PaulPosted May 12, 2023, 6:20 PM
There are a few possible reasons why you might be getting this error:
You may not have installed the Punkt tokenizer data. You can install it using the following command:
The Punkt tokenizer data may not be installed in the correct location. The default location is /usr/local/lib/nltk_data. If you have installed the Punkt tokenizer data in a different location, you can specify the location using the data_dir argument to the nltk.download() function.
You may have a corrupted or outdated version of the Punkt tokenizer data. You can try reinstalling the Punkt tokenizer data to fix this problem.

The error message "Resource punkt not found" means that the NLTK library could not find the Punkt tokenizer data. This data is needed for some of the NLP tasks that NLTK can perform, such as sentence segmentation and tokenization.
