[split] serious n00b.. NLTK in python 2.7 and 3.5

[kevindenman]

Hi All,

I am a python noob (comparable to when this thread was first started) trying to get NLTK up and running as my first Python application.

I have both python 2.7.10 and 3.6.4 installed. I think I somehow installed NLTK into the wrong version of Python and I have been unable to get the NLTK module in python3. I have installed a bunch of packages in Python3 (matplotlib, math, numpy) and want to make sure I am ONLY coding in Python3 going forward.

Any help getting my foundation right would be really helpful! I'm in circles now with the python version -- module install alignment.

From Terminal:

--- python --- module is found
