Interestingly I had trouble using Spacy as it requires an internet connection to AWS to load their models and therefore work. This was blocked by deep packet inspection in my use case.
I looked a bit for a workaround but finally decided to just do the work in NLTK.
That's one disadvantage of Spacy.
- eindiran 7y agoIf I recall correctly, you can pre-download the models you need, which might be suitable for your use case.
- dcsan 7y agoyou can absolutely download the models locally: # download best-matching version of specific model for your spaCy installation python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
