Unable to import modules

[BBCMax]

Hi,

I get the following error when I try to run either of the simple examples in your README file:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/maximild/src/MaxQA/src/test.py", line 1, in
import en_coref_md
File "/Users/maximild/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/en_coref_md/init.py", line 6, in
from en_coref_md.neuralcoref import NeuralCoref
File "/Users/maximild/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/en_coref_md/neuralcoref/init.py", line 1, in
from .neuralcoref import NeuralCoref
File "strings.pxd", line 23, in init en_coref_md.neuralcoref.neuralcoref
ValueError: spacy.strings.StringStore has the wrong size, try recompiling. Expected 88, got 112

I appear to have successfully downloaded the en_coref_md model, but I am unable to import it. I'm using spaCy 2.0.11 and Python 3.6 if that helps.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

Thanks!

I tried downgrading spaCy to version 2.0.0 and got a slightly different value error

ValueError: spacy.strings.StringStore has the wrong size, try recompiling. Expected 64, got 112

I think i also experienced that problem when I tried upgrading from 2.0 in 3.0 in another environment. in another clean virtual environment spacy keeps telling me I can't find the module and if I try to import it direcly it tells me "ImportError: cannot import name 'load_model_from_init_py'"

[AYEG]

Did an extra run to check if interpreter and right pip was used within conda and got the same message: "ValueError: spacy.strings.StringStore has the wrong size, try recompiling. Expected 88, got 112"

Hi @BBCMax and @AYEG,
I can't reproduce your error with the latest spaCy and neuralcoref models.
Two questions:

• are you on windows/mac/linux ?
• do you have an error when you use en_coref_sm?

[BBCMax]

Hey!
I am running this on a mac, and I had the same error with en_coref_sm.

However I managed to get this working yesterday with the most recent version of spaCy and neuralcoref models (and en_coref_md). I had to do a fresh install of spaCy, its models, and neuralcoref - but I can't explain what would have changed in this process. Sorry for the confusion!

[AYEG]

Hi, yes also running on a mac and was unable to use en_coref_sm or en_coref_md inside newly created conda environments, tried different versions of spacy.

I gave it another try just now to see,
I created a conda environment, activated it..

conda install spacy
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
pip install https://github.com/huggingface/neuralcoref-models/releases/download/en_coref_sm-3.0.0/en_coref_sm-3.0.0.tar.gz

During Pip install I get two red lines

Successfully built en-coref-sm
mkl-random 1.0.1 requires cython, which is not installed.   <----
mkl-fft 1.0.0 requires cython, which is not installed.           <-----
 Installing collected packages: en-coref-sm, pathlib, regex

when i try to run, when it loads the model into spacy or when I import the module directly I get:

File "strings.pxd", line 23, in init en_coref_sm.neuralcoref.neuralcoref
ValueError: spacy.strings.StringStore has the wrong size, try recompiling. Expected 88, got 112

Interesting, thanks.
Maybe the conda version of spaCy is older than the pip version.
Can you try pip install spacyinstead of conda in a clean environment?

[BBCMax]

I did this in a clean environment via pip initially..

[AYEG]

Thank you, It is working and it is quick! Amazing work

[thomwolf]

Happy to hear that.
By the way, you don't even need to install spaCy before neuralcoref, the recommended way to install NeuralCoref with conda (assuming MODEL_URL contains the NeuralCoref model URL) :

conda create -n myenv
source activate myenv
pip install MODEL_URL

[thomwolf]

@BBCMax if you still have the problem try reinstalling a clean version of NeuralCoref like this:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir MODEL_URL

Thanks @thomwolf - all ok now, but I hope it can help someone else suffering from similar issues!

[thomwolf]

Thanks for the heads up
