Hello! I recently encountered a problem while using the Reuters dataset from python-nltk.
I'm currently running python-nltk 3.2.1-2 on Debian Stretch, and I downloaded the Reuters corpus using nltk.download() In the dataset, the character "<" (u+003C) is incorrectly represented as "<" This inconsistency occurs only for such character, while all the other special character seem to be correctly encoded. I generated a list of files presenting the problem, but I'm not sure where to file the bug report. I have only access to Debian computers, so I haven't tried to replicate the problem on other systems. Since the character is represented in HTML notation, I suspect this problem occurred when the files where generated from the original Reuters dataset, since it is stored in SGML format[1], so the problem might be general for NLTK.
