value error on minimal tagging example

[suchow]

I created a minimal script:

import spacy.en
nlp = spacy.en.English()
tokens = nlp(u"The cow jumped over the moon.", tag=True, parse=False)

And then ran it under Python 2.7.9, spaCy 0.70, OS X 10.10.3.

It crashes, giving the following error:

❯ python test_spacy.py

There's a trailing comma in the specials.json data file that's in the version on pip. This is fixed in the next pip release.

For now, if you run

$ python -m spacy.en.download all

The correct data will be downloaded.

Perfect, thanks.
