I got the same error of "cannot import name 'WordNet' from 'wn'". And one more question, what is the wn? I do not find the definition of wn.

[frankTian92]

I have solved this problem. It is because the version of 'wn' package is too high. I have degrade 'wn' to the version of 0.0.23, and it works

This was fixed in 20885bf but, currently, only if you install from the source code. The last release on GitHub and version on PyPI do not include the change.

I solved this issue by specifying the pywsd version for python3

pip3 install pywsd==1.0.2

This exact same issue is still hot.
@YashMeh 's suggestion above helps you get out of the rut even though the working version is not the latest when installing from PyPI.org with python -m pip install pywsd==1.0.2.

@goodmami: Is there a notion of when the fix will reach the package on GitHub and PyPI.org ?

(Thanks to the code authors and contributors for making this available.)

@Cbhihe I am not a maintainer of this project, so I cannot say.

@alvations any chance we can get a new release on PyPI? It only needs to be the current code on GitHub plus a new version (also see #64; the 1.2.4 release on PyPI is from 2019 but the version string in the Git repository was only changed to 1.2.4 earlier this year). As mentioned on #68 (comment), we need a new version string, like 1.2.5 or 1.3.
