Importing SpaCy in python tool

[Lunalight]

Hi, 

When I try to install Spacy in the Python tool with Alteryx.installPackage('spacy') I get a CalledProcessError. 

I'm running Alteryx as administrator since I saw that mentioned in a thread on installing NLTK. However, it's not solving my problem. How do I go about installing SpaCy in the Python tool?

So spacy seems to have installed for me now (I think mine was a certs issue), but I cannot seem to load models. What is the Alteryx Python tool equivalent of the following command?

python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

I'm simply trying to follow the "hello world" found at 

https://spacy.io/usage/spacy-101#whats-spacy

Have you found out how to solve it? Even importing it with pip in cmd, alteryx still not recognize spacy.

Hi Stephen,

After installing spacy successfully, I am not able to load the package

sp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm') 

this gives error as module not found. (I am using Alteryx Designer Non Admin tool).

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Vibs

The following steps worked for me.

from ayx import Package

Package.installPackages(['spacy', 'https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.1.0/en_core_web_sm-2.1....'])

import en_core_web_sm

nlp = en_core_web_sm.load()
