Suggest typing

    help('wordnet')

which will tell you to import thus:

    from wordnet import *

after which N['dog'] should work, if everything was installed ok.

If it wasn't, read INSTALL.txt and README.txt from your downloaded archive
(pywordnet-1_4.zip ?)

If that doesn't get you there, we'll have to try again ;-)
