'NoneType' object has no attribute 'newTokenizer'`

[CMallart]

Hello,

I installed spacy-udpipe from the Pypi repo using the following pip install spacy-udpipe

When I follow the tutorial code from the Pypi package tutorial

import spacy_udpipe
spacy_udpipe.download("en") # download English model
text = "Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world."
nlp = spacy_udpipe.load("en")
doc = nlp(text)

it raises the following error

Already downloaded a model for the 'en' language
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/adr2.local/mallart_c/a4ll/udpipe-microservice/app/spacy_parser.py", line 8, in <module>

    tokenizer = self.model.newTokenizer(self.model.DEFAULT)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'newTokenizer'

I am using spacy==3.5.0 and spacy-udpipe==1.0.0 inside of a Python 3.8.10 venv. I have also installed spacy-conll==3.3.0 and spacy-transformers==1.2.1.
