Hey - We're watching these videos for a class at uni now. Your videos are really professional - Theyre nicely done, easy to follow, good mic and so on. Great job!
But please. Fix your intro volume, its 200% compared to your voice in video.
Otherwise, thanks a fucking lot man! :D

Thanks for the video. I had installed spacy in my mac (using vs code). However, when importing the package there is an error "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click._bashcomplete'. Could you provide a solution please.

What's the difference between the _lg and _trf models? When would you use _trf?

I'm facing some issues, I installed spacy and the English learning model, but u can't load it in pycharm 3.7

I tried python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

Python -m spacy download en


Spacy.load(STRAIGHT PATH TO DIRECTORY)


As a complete beginner in python I really need some help

all good except the pip command doesnt work, now on 3 different computers... there are some dependencies that aren't in your video. I doubt everyone will be able to get to the point to 'import spacy'... we are still working on installing it.

getting this error ...how to solve this ????
OSError: [E050] Can't find model 'en'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.

What platform do u use? Anaconda or VS!
