Unable to .load()

[setegonz]

I installed spacy:
conda install -c conda-forge spacy

Installed the Spanish model:
python -m spacy download es_core_news_sm

Thein in spyder:

import es_core_news_sm

nlp = es_core_news_sm.load()

KeyError: "[E002] Can't find factory for 'tok2vec'. This usually happens when spaCy calls nlp.create_pipewith a component name that's not built in - for example, when constructing the pipeline from a model's meta.json. If you're using a custom component, you can write toLanguage.factories['tok2vec']or remove it from the model meta and add it vianlp.add_pipe instead."

Then tried:

import spacy 
nlp = spacy.load("es_core_news_sm")

OSError: [E049] Can't find spaCy data directory: 'None'. Check your installation and permissions, or use spacy.util.set_data_path to customise the location if necessary.

It sounds you might have ended up with a mixture of v2 and v3 packages and/or models, since I see both v2.3.5 and v3.0.5 in the info above.

Our best advice would be to start fresh with a new virtual environment, install the version of spacy that you need, and then make sure that spyder is also being run in the exact same environment.

This might be helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30170468/how-to-run-spyder-in-virtual-environment

My issue was a problem with Symbolic Link Privilege. I was able to solve it by following the information available at these links:
