Thanks to you and the others who responded. 

Evidently I left out the fact that I found python-ntlk in Synaptic
package manager and installed it without error. That part is done. My
problem is loading the data. To repeat what I said about this
previously:

Then I tried to follow this to download the data:
-----
from the ntlk.org/install page:
To install the data, first install NLTK (see
http://nltk.org/install.html), then use NLTK’s data downloader as
described below.
...
Reading through the rest of the download options the only one that made
any sense was:
Run the command python -m nltk.downloader all
-----

But this command just gave a 404 (not found) error.

How do I get the ntlk data?
