title: How do I use python interface of Stanford NER(named entity recogniser)?
body: <p>I want to use Stanford NER in python using pyner library. Here is one basic code snippet.</p>
  
  <pre><code>import ner 
  tagger = ner.HttpNER(host='localhost', port=80)
  tagger.get_entities("University of California is located in California, United States")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this on my local python console(IDLE). It should have given me an output like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>  {'LOCATION': ['California', 'United States'],
   'ORGANIZATION': ['University of California']}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I execut this, it showed empty brackets. I am actually new to all this.</p>
