I'm trying to run through the TextBlob tutorial in Windows (using Git Bash shell) with Python 3.3.
I've installed textblob and nltk as well as any dependencies.
The Python code is:
from text.blob import TextBlob
wiki = TextBlob("Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language.")
tags = wiki.tags
I'm getting the following error
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any idea what is wrong here? Adding a 'u' before the string didn't help.
