'NLTK download ignores environment variables?
I'm trying to have a locally stored version of NLTK data that I use so that I don't have to re-download them everytime I switch environments. For this, I've read here that you can add an environment variable and the NLTK documentation details how I need to add my custom path to the path variable for the loading to work.
So I have installed the NLTK data to my custom folder, and in my Jupyter notebook I'm adding the folder to the NLTK_DATA environment variable, however, it seems to have 0 effect on where NLTK is looking for the data files:
How can I make sure that I add a custom path to my NLTK data, and add it to the environmental variables within Jupyter and make sure NLTK also looks in that folder?
[UPDATE] It's not just Jupyter, even though the documentation mentions it, NLTK seems to completely ignore any kinds of environmental variables, even ones saved in .env files.
