Unable to import nltk in NetBeans

Question

I am trying to import NLTK in my python code and I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/afs/NetBeansProjects/NER/getNE_followers.py", line 7, in <module>
    import nltk
ImportError: No module named nltk

I am using NetBeans: 6.7.1, Python 2.6 NLTK. My NLTK module is installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/nltk/ and I have added this in Python paths in Netbeans.

What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

You might have default python installation on /usr/bin/python. So, In Netbeans preference, try to set python interpreter to /usr/local/bin/python instead of /usr/bin/python

Rectified the problem. I had included the nltk path in the Netbeans global settings but the project was still using Jython 2.5 as its Python platform so the global settings never affected the project.
