Is this bleeding edge w3af?

Not sure about the OP, but I was also getting this message when trying to launch.

I am using the bleeding edge repo

From the menu it would just launch the splash screen, from the terminal using 'w3af' produced a similar message as the OP.

  • "No module named nltk.corpus.util".-

To fix temporarily

'pip install -U nltk'

Permanent fix would be to push nltk through the repo.
