Installation fails on Google App Engine

[oli666]

I am using the followign requirements to install to Google App Engine:

nltk==3.4.5
rake-nltk==1.0.4

The deployment fails with the error messages below; I can, however, deploy nltk 3.4.5 without any issues. Only the post installation tasks of rake-nltk seem to be the issues.

@oli666 From the error you have posted above

Step #1 - "builder": ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'nltk'
Step #1 - "builder": ----------------------------------------
Step #1 - "builder": ERROR: Failed building wheel for rake-nltk
Step #1 - "builder": ERROR: Failed to build one or more wheels

it looks like when we try to access nltk library from within rake-nltk we are not able to find it. Can you check the installation path within your app-engine setup and see if there is any path issues.
