TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'

[Niladri-Chakraborty]

Hello Sir,
I installed all the prerequisites. But when the run the code treetagger_python2.py I got the above error, though when I go through the actual file I could see the init method does take the parameter encoding

File "treetagger_python2.py", line 47, in main.TreeTagger
Failed example:
tt = TreeTagger(encoding='utf-8',language='english')
Exception raised:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/doctest.py", line 1315, in __run
compileflags, 1) in test.globs
File "<doctest main.TreeTagger[1]>", line 1, in
tt = TreeTagger(encoding='utf-8',language='english')
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'

you might be running in Python 3.I got the same error and removed the argument and the error was gone.

Python 2 is no longer supported, please use Python 3.
