Newbie question: Try to follow example, but fails after run.

[Timmytubby]

After trail and error on installing the library, i tried to follow the example to get some quick experience with this lib.

Example is here: https://pypi.org/project/textacy/

Code i putted in: import os import textacy print(os.getcwd()) text = ( 'Since the so-called "statistical revolution" in the late 1980s and mid 1990s, ' 'much Natural Language Processing research has relied heavily on machine learning. ' 'Formerly, many language-processing tasks typically involved the direct hand coding ' 'of rules, which is not in general robust to natural language variation. ' 'The machine-learning paradigm calls instead for using statistical inference ' 'to automatically learn such rules through the analysis of large corpora ' 'of typical real-world examples.')

textacy.text_utils.KWIC(text, 'language', window_width=35)

textacy.preprocess_text(text, lowercase=True, no_punct=True) doc = textacy.Doc(text) doc

Expected Behavior

Like the example on site.

Current Behavior(Debug result after run)

Possible Solution

Haven't got the slightest clue

Your Environment

OS-x: 10.13.6 Pycharm: 2018.2.1 Python 3.7 textacy: 0.6.2 spacy: 2.0.12

Thnx in advance

Hi @Timmytubby , it looks like you haven't installed any spacy language models, or haven't linked "en" to whichever English-language model you have installed. Check out this section of the installation guide, and follow the link to spacy's docs for details.

If this is indeed the problem, you can quickly verify it by doing

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load("en")

Dear mr.Wilde,

Thanks for the great support, somehow i missed this importing of spacy. Everything works like a charm now.

In case someone has the same issue and wonders how to create the link you can run python3 -m spacy link en_core_web_lg en to easily create it (this assumes you have en_core_web_lg already installed)
