1482067 - Pontoon doesn't work offline because of nltk

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, enhancement, P4)

Description

[[DEACTIVATED] Adrian Gaudebert]

For our machinery, we import the caighdean package which depends on nltk, and nltk needs to download files from the network every time you import it. Currently, that means starting Pontoon locally on a computer that has no network fails, and you can't do anything. Pretty frustrating when working from a train. :-)

Since support for caighdean is not a requirement for local development of Pontoon, let's make sure it can start even when there's no network connection available.

I found that while trying to do django commands on the docker container, and wondering if I could use the stdout.

Could we put the nltk data into the container at build time?
