spacy==3.8.0 depends on en-core-web-sm==3.7.1 depends on spacy<3.8.0

[alexei]

spacy==3.8.0 uses en-core-web-sm==3.7.1, but the en-core-web-sm==3.7.1 package is incompatible with spacy==3.8.0:

$ python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
Collecting en-core-web-sm==3.7.1
...

But:

pip install spacy==3.8.0 https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-3.7.1/en_core_web_sm-3.7.1-py3-none-any.whl
ERROR: Cannot install en-core-web-sm==3.7.1 and spacy==3.8.0 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested spacy==3.8.0
    en-core-web-sm 3.7.1 depends on spacy<3.8.0 and >=3.7.2

It's worse, actually: running python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm under spacy==3.8.0 actually replaces spacy==3.8.0 with an earlier, compatible, version:

$ pip install spacy==3.8.0

Thanks, I should've replied to this sooner.

I also realised the dependency conflict from v3.8, because the models specify the spaCy version.

I've now published a fixed v3.8, and an updated set of models that don't depend on the spaCy version. Please reopen or re-report if you have continued problems.
