urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

After

pip install polyglot

I try to run

from polyglot.text import Text, Word

x ='word'
Word(x, language='en').morphemes

and I get this error:
urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

TLDR
pip install failed and downloaded polyglot-15.10.3 from cache instead of polyglot 16.7.4
This cached version of polyglot pointed to this url:
https://whoisbigger.com/polyglot/index.json

The url should have been
http://polyglot.cs.stonybrook.edu/~polyglot/

Downloading the tar and running python setup.py install resolved my issue :)

Perhaps related, I also tried downloading english embeddings

from polyglot.downloader import downloader
downloader.download("embeddings2.en")

And get this error
[polyglot_data] Error loading embeddings2.en: HTTP Error 403:
[polyglot_data] Forbidden

I'm looking at one of my working installations of polyglot and the download url is instead

http://polyglot.cs.stonybrook.edu/~polyglot/

I think someone replaced the url with a bad one?

@apongos Where does the http://polyglot.cs.stonybrook.edu/~polyglot/ link go? In the downloader file?

It can be changed in the Downloader.py file. Around line 364 - at least in the version I installed which was 15.10.3
