Building fasttext for python - Method ambiguous. And import fasttext.train_supervised() vs fasttext.FastText.train_supervised()

[slovanos]

Hi all! On the fasttext site: https://fasttext.cc/docs/en/supervised-tutorial.html two different sources for building the python wrapper are shown:

• Under Introduction > Get started:

$ git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText.git $ cd fastText $ sudo pip install .

• Under Tutorials > Text Classification:

$ wget https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText/archive/v0.9.2.zip $ unzip v0.9.2.zip $ pip install .

so, which one is it? and what are the differences?

Also. when importing in python: import fasttext

fasttext.train_supervised() and fasttext.FastText.train_supervised() can be used.

What are the differences there? I'd appreciate it

thank you very much.
