Polyglot ImportError: cannot import name 'Locale' from 'icu'

Question

I was trying to run the polyglot for my sentimental analysis. After a lot of struggling,, I successfully installed Polyglot and pyicu. However when I ran my program, it gave me this error, and I don't know how to fix it

Answer 1

The problem is package dependency. Run the following commands in order:

1- pip3 install pyicu

2- pip3 install pycld2

3- pip3 install morfessor

That should work for your case. Also, for more detailed answers, check this link
