spacy download en_core_web_sm
I couldn't help but notice some of your commands omit python -m, which might cause some of the issues we're seeing. If you're curious about details, I've attempted to make a tutorial on what might go wrong here.
Could you try running:
# Use python explicitly to grab info.
python -m spacy info
# Just confirm the versions via pip too
python -m pip freeze | grep spacy
# Download the en_core_web_sm model explicitly
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
Once that's downloaded, you should be able to load in the model via:
import spacy
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")Actually, because you said you were unfamiliar, you may appreciate following along with the entire course on calmcode. I'm the maintainer of that project, and I don't want to toot my own horn here, but I can imagine just taking the time through all the steps there might also just help shape your understanding.
Happy to learn, and thanks for all the help! 😄
I've run all commands inside the terminal, including python testing.py. They all work (or at least, the import statements are no longer the error), so as you suggest, I'm assuming that Spyder is doing something funky.
I'm researching right now, and at first glance it seems as though you actually need to install Spyder on every virtual environment, just like any other package. Trying this now.
As you suggested - Spyder was the villain.
All packages were correctly installed on the virtual environment, but Spyder was not running that environment (even if the IDE was launched with the spyder command from a terminal where the environment was in fact activated).
In order to make Spyder run the correct environment, you needed to change the Python interpreter in the Spyder preferences:
... and then restart the kernel.
I got an error prompting me to pip install spyder-kernels==2.1.*, but once that was done (make sure to do it on the right env) and I restarted Spyder, it finally worked!
@koaning, thanks a ton for hopping on this thread, you've been a great help!
Hello everyone. I worked with nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") having generated .exe with PyInstaller, considering that in the python interpreter environment the software worked well. When executing the .exe the following error occurred: Error: Can't find model 'en_core_web_sm'. It doesn't seem to be a Python package or a valid path to a data directory. I was able to solve it by watching the video published in:

It was necessary to replace the statement nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm") in my source program with nlp = spacy.load("C:\Users\claud\OneDrive\Desktop\Python312.venv\Lib\site-packages\en_core_web_sm \en_core_web_sm-3.7.1")
nlp = spacy.load("C:/Users/claud/OneDrive/Desktop/Python312/.venv/Lib/site-packages/en_core_web_sm/en_core_web_sm-3.7.1").
That is, as the video explains, I directly replaced "en_core_web_sm" with the address on my Windows 11 notebook where the spacy library (python -m spacy download en). Thank you so much
