I'm not able to use the '.add_pipe' attribute

[MotorCityCobra]

>>> nlp.add_pipe(s2v)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'English' object has no attribute 'add_pipe'

Is it called something else now?

Looks like you might be using an older version of spaCy – the new custom pipeline components all require v2.x. (You can check your spaCy version by running python -m spacy info on the command line.)

If you need to upgrade from v1.x to v2.x, see this guide for more details. I'd also recommend using a fresh (virtual) environment for the new installation!

That 'python -m space info' command didn't work.

I found this solution for checking the module's version.

$ python
>>> import spacy
>>> import pkg_resources
>>> pkg_resources.get_distribution("spacy").version
'0.101.0'  

Thanks for the diagnosis. I'll follow your link and get the newer version.
I'll assume that will fix it and close the issue.
