Spacy keeps installing v4.0.0.dev3 (or a version of 3.8.2. that falsely claims to be v4)

[mattmcgrattan]

As per the topic title. I'm running an Apple Silicon mac, and if I do an install into a blank virtual environment using Python3.9 or Python3.10, Spacy defaults to installing v4, which is explicitly NOT what I want as there are no available language models and breaking changes.

I'm following the instructions at Spacy.io:

pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
pip install -U 'spacy[transformers,lookups,apple]'
python -m spacy download en_core_web_trf

And then spacy info reports:

spaCy version    4.0.0.dev3                    
Platform         macOS-15.0.1-arm64-arm-64bit  
Python version   3.10.10                       
Pipelines         

However, pip freeze reports:

spacy==3.8.2
spacy-alignments==0.9.1
spacy-legacy==3.0.12
spacy-loggers==1.0.5
spacy-lookups-data==1.0.5
spacy-transformers==1.3.5

Trying to train models it fails to load the relevant model files, even when I explicitly install from the relevant wheel.
