* 🚨 Ignore all existing Mypy errors
* 🏗 Add Mypy check to CI
* Add types-mock and types-requests as dev requirements
* Add additional type ignore directives
* Add types packages to dev-only list in reqs test
* Add types-dataclasses for python 3.6
* Add ignore to pretrain
* 🏷 Improve type annotation on `run_command` helper
The `run_command` helper previously declared that it returned an
`Optional[subprocess.CompletedProcess]`, but it isn't actually possible
for the function to return `None`. These changes modify the type
annotation of the `run_command` helper and remove all now-unnecessary
`# type: ignore` directives.
* 🔧 Allow variable type redefinition in limited contexts
These changes modify how Mypy is configured to allow variables to have
their type automatically redefined under certain conditions. The Mypy
documentation contains the following example:
```python
def process(items: List[str]) -> None:
# 'items' has type List[str]
items = [item.split() for item in items]
# 'items' now has type List[List[str]]
...
```
This configuration change is especially helpful in reducing the number
of `# type: ignore` directives needed to handle the common pattern of:
* Accepting a filepath as a string
* Overwriting the variable using `filepath = ensure_path(filepath)`
These changes enable redefinition and remove all `# type: ignore`
directives rendered redundant by this change.
* 🏷 Add type annotation to converters mapping
* 🚨 Fix Mypy error in convert CLI argument verification
* 🏷 Improve type annotation on `resolve_dot_names` helper
* 🏷 Add type annotations for `Vocab` attributes `strings` and `vectors`
* 🏷 Add type annotations for more `Vocab` attributes
* 🏷 Add loose type annotation for gold data compilation
* 🏷 Improve `_format_labels` type annotation
* 🏷 Fix `get_lang_class` type annotation
* 🏷 Loosen return type of `Language.evaluate`
* 🏷 Don't accept `Scorer` in `handle_scores_per_type`
* 🏷 Add `string_to_list` overloads
* 🏷 Fix non-Optional command-line options
* 🙈 Ignore redefinition of `wandb_logger` in `loggers.py`
* ➕ Install `typing_extensions` in Python 3.8+
The `typing_extensions` package states that it should be used when
"writing code that must be compatible with multiple Python versions".
Since SpaCy needs to support multiple Python versions, it should be used
when newer `typing` module members are required. One example of this is
`Literal`, which is available starting with Python 3.8.
Previously SpaCy tried to import `Literal` from `typing`, falling back
to `typing_extensions` if the import failed. However, Mypy doesn't seem
to be able to understand what `Literal` means when the initial import
means. Therefore, these changes modify how `compat` imports `Literal` by
always importing it from `typing_extensions`.
These changes also modify how `typing_extensions` is installed, so that
it is a requirement for all Python versions, including those greater
than or equal to 3.8.
* 🏷 Improve type annotation for `Language.pipe`
These changes add a missing overload variant to the type signature of
`Language.pipe`. Additionally, the type signature is enhanced to allow
type checkers to differentiate between the two overload variants based
on the `as_tuple` parameter.
Fixes#8772
* ➖ Don't install `typing-extensions` in Python 3.8+
After more detailed analysis of how to implement Python version-specific
type annotations using SpaCy, it has been determined that by branching
on a comparison against `sys.version_info` can be statically analyzed by
Mypy well enough to enable us to conditionally use
`typing_extensions.Literal`. This means that we no longer need to
install `typing_extensions` for Python versions greater than or equal to
3.8! 🎉
These changes revert previous changes installing `typing-extensions`
regardless of Python version and modify how we import the `Literal` type
to ensure that Mypy treats it properly.

* 🏷 Expand accepted inputs of `get_string_id`
`get_string_id` accepts either a string (in which case it returns its
ID) or an ID (in which case it immediately returns the ID). These
changes extend the type annotation of `get_string_id` to indicate that
it can accept either strings or IDs.
* 🏷 Handle override types in `combine_score_weights`
The `combine_score_weights` function allows users to pass an `overrides`
mapping to override data extracted from the `weights` argument. Since it
allows `Optional` dictionary values, the return value may also include
`Optional` dictionary values.
These changes update the type annotations for `combine_score_weights` to
reflect this fact.
* 🏷 Fix tokenizer serialization method signatures in `DummyTokenizer`
* 🏷 Fix redefinition of `wandb_logger`
These changes fix the redefinition of `wandb_logger` by giving a
separate name to each `WandbLogger` version. For

as `wandb_logger` for now.

* Refactor Docs.is_ flags
* Add derived `Doc.has_annotation` method
* `Doc.has_annotation(attr)` returns `True` for partial annotation
* `Doc.has_annotation(attr, require_complete=True)` returns `True` for
complete annotation
* Add deprecation warnings to `is_tagged`, `is_parsed`, `is_sentenced`
and `is_nered`
* Add `Doc._get_array_attrs()`, which returns a full list of `Doc` attrs
for use with `Doc.to_array`, `Doc.to_bytes` and `Doc.from_docs`. The
list is the `DocBin` attributes list plus `SPACY` and `LENGTH`.
Notes on `Doc.has_annotation`:
* `HEAD` is converted to `DEP` because heads don't have an unset state
* Accept `IS_SENT_START` as a synonym of `SENT_START`
Additional changes:
* Add `NORM`, `ENT_ID` and `SENT_START` to default attributes for
`DocBin`
* In `Doc.from_array()` the presence of `DEP` causes `HEAD` to override
`SENT_START`
* In `Doc.from_array()` using `attrs` other than
`Doc._get_array_attrs()` (i.e., a user's custom list rather than our
default internal list) with both `HEAD` and `SENT_START` shows a warning
that `HEAD` will override `SENT_START`
* `set_children_from_heads` does not require dependency labels to set
sentence boundaries and sets `sent_start` for all non-sentence starts to
`-1`
* Fix call to set_children_form_heads

Remove corpus-specific tag maps from the language data for languages
without custom tokenizers. For languages with custom word segmenters
that also provide tags (Japanese and Korean), the tag maps for the
custom tokenizers are kept as the default.
The default tag maps for languages without custom tokenizers are now the
default tag map from `lang/tag_map/py`, UPOS -> UPOS.
* Reduce stored lexemes data, move feats to lookups
* Move non-derivable lexemes features (`norm / cluster / prob`) to
`spacy-lookups-data` as lookups
* Get/set `norm` in both lookups and `LexemeC`, serialize in lookups
* Remove `cluster` and `prob` from `LexemesC`, get/set/serialize in
lookups only
* Remove serialization of lexemes data as `vocab/lexemes.bin`
* Remove `SerializedLexemeC`
* Remove `Lexeme.to_bytes/from_bytes`
* Modify normalization exception loading:
* Always create `Vocab.lookups` table `lexeme_norm` for
normalization exceptions
* Load base exceptions from `lang.norm_exceptions`, but load
language-specific exceptions from lookups
* Set `lex_attr_getter[NORM]` including new lookups table in
`BaseDefaults.create_vocab()` and when deserializing `Vocab`
* Remove all cached lexemes when deserializing vocab to override
existing normalizations with the new normalizations (as a replacement
for the previous step that replaced all lexemes data with the
deserialized data)
* Skip English normalization test
Skip English normalization test because the data is now in
`spacy-lookups-data`.
* Remove norm exceptions
Moved to spacy-lookups-data.
* Move norm exceptions test to spacy-lookups-data
* Load extra lookups from spacy-lookups-data lazily
Load extra lookups (currently for cluster and prob) lazily from the
entry point `lg_extra` as `Vocab.lookups_extra`.
* Skip creating lexeme cache on load
To improve model loading times, do not create the full lexeme cache when
loading. The lexemes will be created on demand when processing.
* Identify numeric values in Lexeme.set_attrs()
With the removal of a special case for `PROB`, also identify `float` to
avoid trying to convert it with the `StringStore`.
* Skip lexeme cache init in from_bytes
* Unskip and update lookups tests for python3.6+
* Update vocab pickle to include lookups_extra
* Update vocab serialization tests
Check strings rather than lexemes since lexemes aren't initialized
automatically, account for addition of "_SP".
* Re-skip lookups test because of python3.5
* Skip PROB/float values in Lexeme.set_attrs
* Convert is_oov from lexeme flag to lex in vectors
Instead of storing `is_oov` as a lexeme flag, `is_oov` reports whether
the lexeme has a vector.

* Rename `tag_map.py` to `tag_map_fine.py` to indicate that it's not the
default tag map
* Remove duplicate generic UD tag map and load `../tag_map.py` instead
* Restructure tag maps for MorphAnalysis changes
Prepare tag maps for upcoming MorphAnalysis changes that allow
arbritrary features.
* Use default tag map rather than duplicating for ca / uk / vi
* Import tag map into defaults for ga
* Modify tag maps so all morphological fields and features are strings
* Move features from `"Other"` to the top level
* Rewrite tuples as strings separated by `","`
* Rewrite morph symbols for fr lemmatizer as strings
* Export MorphAnalysis under spacy.tokens
* Modify morphology to support arbitrary features
Modify `Morphology` and `MorphAnalysis` so that arbitrary features are
supported.
* Modify `MorphAnalysisC` so that it can support arbitrary features and
multiple values per field. `MorphAnalysisC` is redesigned to contain:
* key: hash of UD FEATS string of morphological features
* array of `MorphFeatureC` structs that each contain a hash of `Field`
and `Field=Value` for a given morphological feature, which makes it
possible to:
* find features by field
* represent multiple values for a given field
* `get_field()` is renamed to `get_by_field()` and is no longer `nogil`.
Instead a new helper function `get_n_by_field()` is `nogil` and returns
`n` features by field.
* `MorphAnalysis.get()` returns all possible values for a field as a
list of individual features such as `["Tense=Pres", "Tense=Past"]`.
* `MorphAnalysis`'s `str()` and `repr()` are the UD FEATS string.
* `Morphology.feats_to_dict()` converts a UD FEATS string to a dict
where:
* Each field has one entry in the dict
* Multiple values remain separated by a separator in the value string
* `Token.morph_` returns the UD FEATS string and you can set
`Token.morph_` with a UD FEATS string or with a tag map dict.
* Modify get_by_field to use np.ndarray
Modify `get_by_field()` to use np.ndarray. Remove `max_results` from
`get_n_by_field()` and always iterate over all the fields.
* Rewrite without MorphFeatureC
* Add shortcut for existing feats strings as keys
Add shortcut for existing feats strings as keys in `Morphology.add()`.
* Check for '_' as empty analysis when adding morphs
* Extend helper converters in Morphology
Add and extend helper converters that convert and normalize between:
* UD FEATS strings (`"Case=dat,gen|Number=sing"`)
* per-field dict of feats (`{"Case": "dat,gen", "Number": "sing"}`)
* list of individual features (`["Case=dat", "Case=gen",
"Number=sing"]`)
All converters sort fields and values where applicable.
* Move test
* Allow default in Lookups.get_table
* Start with blank tables in Lookups.from_bytes
* Refactor lemmatizer to hold instance of Lookups
* Get lookups table within the lemmatization methods to make sure it references the correct table (even if the table was replaced or modified, e.g. when loading a model from disk)
* Deprecate other arguments on Lemmatizer.__init__ and expect Lookups for consistency
* Remove old and unsupported Lemmatizer.load classmethod
* Refactor language-specific lemmatizers to inherit as much as possible from base class and override only what they need

* Lookups / Tables now work
This implements the stubs in the Lookups/Table classes. Currently this
is in Cython but with no type declarations, so that could be improved.
* Add lookups to setup.py
* Actually add lookups pyx
The previous commit added the old py file...
* Lookups work-in-progress
* Move from pyx back to py
* Add string based lookups, fix serialization
* Update tests, language/lemmatizer to work with string lookups
There are some outstanding issues here:
- a pickling-related test fails due to the bloom filter
- some custom lemmatizers (fr/nl at least) have issues
More generally, there's a question of how to deal with the case where
you have a string but want to use the lookup table. Currently the table
allows access by string or id, but that's getting pretty awkward.
* Change lemmatizer lookup method to pass (orth, string)
* Fix token lookup
* Fix French lookup
* Fix lt lemmatizer test
* Fix Dutch lemmatizer
* Fix lemmatizer lookup test
This was using a normal dict instead of a Table, so checks for the
string instead of an integer key failed.
* Make uk/nl/ru lemmatizer lookup methods consistent
The mentioned tokenizers all have their own implementation of the
`lookup` method, which accesses a `Lookups` table. The way that was
called in `token.pyx` was changed so this should be updated to have the
same arguments as `lookup` in `lemmatizer.py` (specificially (orth/id,
string)).
Prior to this change tests weren't failing, but there would probably be
issues with normal use of a model. More tests should proably be added.
Additionally, the language-specific `lookup` implementations seem like
they might not be needed, since they handle things like lower-casing
that aren't actually language specific.
* Make recently added Greek method compatible
* Remove redundant class/method
Leftovers from a merge not cleaned up adequately.
* Improve load_language_data helper
* WIP: Add Lookups implementation
* Start moving lemma data over to JSON
* WIP: move data over for more languages
* Convert more languages
* Fix lemmatizer fixtures in tests
* Finish conversion
* Auto-format JSON files
* Fix test for now
* Make sure tables are stored on instance
* Move Turkish lemmas to a json file
Rather than a large dict in Python source, the data is now a big json
file. This includes a method for loading the json file, falling back to
a compressed file, and an update to MANIFEST.in that excludes json in
the spacy/lang directory.
This focuses on Turkish specifically because it has the most language
data in core.
* Transition all lemmatizer.py files to json
This covers all lemmatizer.py files of a significant size (>500k or so).
Small files were left alone.
None of the affected files have logic, so this was pretty
straightforward.
One unusual thing is that the lemma data for Urdu doesn't seem to be
used anywhere. That may require further investigation.
* Move large lang data to json for fr/nb/nl/sv
These are the languages that use a lemmatizer directory (rather than a
single file) and are larger than English.
For most of these languages there were many language data files, in
which case only the large ones (>500k or so) were converted to json. It
may or may not be a good idea to migrate the remaining Python files to
json in the future.
* Fix id lemmas.json
The contents of this file were originally just copied from the Python
source, but that used single quotes, so it had to be properly converted
to json first.
* Add .json.gz to gitignore
This covers the json.gz files built as part of distribution.
* Add language data gzip to build process
Currently this gzip data on every build; it works, but it should be
changed to only gzip when the source file has been updated.
* Remove Danish lemmatizer.py
Missed this when I added the json.
* Update to match latest explosion/srsly#9
The way gzipped json is loaded/saved in srsly changed a bit.
* Only compress language data if necessary
If a .json.gz file exists and is newer than the corresponding json file,
it's not recompressed.
* Move en/el language data to json
This only affected files >500kb, which was nouns for both languages and
the generic lookup table for English.
* Remove empty files in Norwegian tokenizer
It's unclear why, but the Norwegian (nb) tokenizer had empty files for
adj/adv/noun/verb lemmas. This may have been a result of copying the
structure of the English lemmatizer.
This removed the files, but still creates the empty sets in the
lemmatizer. That may not actually be necessary.
* Remove dubious entries in English lookup.json
" furthest" and " skilled" - both prefixed with a space - were in the
English lookup table. That seems obviously wrong so I have removed them.
* Fix small issues with en/fr lemmatizers
The en tokenizer was including the removed _nouns.py file, so that's
removed.
The fr tokenizer is unusual in that it has a lemmatizer directory with
both __init__.py and lemmatizer.py. lemmatizer.py had not been converted
to load the json language data, so that was fixed.

<!--- Provide a general summary of your changes in the title. -->
## Description
- [x] Use [`black`](https://github.com/ambv/black) to auto-format all `.py` files.
- [x] Update flake8 config to exclude very large files (lemmatization tables etc.)
- [x] Update code to be compatible with flake8 rules
- [x] Fix various small bugs, inconsistencies and messy stuff in the language data
- [x] Update docs to explain new code style (`black`, `flake8`, when to use `# fmt: off` and `# fmt: on` and what `# noqa` means)
Once #2932 is merged, which auto-formats and tidies up the CLI, we'll be able to run `flake8 spacy` actually get meaningful results.
At the moment, the code style and linting isn't applied automatically, but I'm hoping that the new [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) will let us auto-format pull requests and post comments with relevant linting information.
