Download and load spaCy models on-the-fly.
Project description
Download and load spaCy models on-the-fly
A tiny drop-in replacement for spacy.load()
that automatically downloads a model when it is not currently installed.
pip install spacy_download
Usage is identical to spacy.load()
, meaning that you can also exclude
or disable pipeline components. Example:
from spacy_download import load_spacy
# Will download the model if it isn't installed yet
nlp = load_spacy("en_core_web_sm", exclude=["parser", "tagger"])
Under the hood, the package makes use of spaCy's capability to import models as modules, rather than using spaCy's
built-in loader. This allows us to first download a model with pip
and then load it as a module.
Note: if you are using transformer models, you still need to install spacy-transformers
yourself!
WARNING: loading models on the fly can be useful, but it is not an officially supported feature. It should work fine with the official models at the time of writing, but I cannot guarantee that this will always be the case. Use at your own risk.
