* Go back to using requests instead of urllib (closes#2320)
Fewer dependencies are good, but this one was simply causing too many other problems around SSL verification and Python 2/3 compatibility. requests is a popular enough package that it's okay for spaCy to depend on it – and this will hopefully make model downloads less flakey.
* Only download model if not installed (see #1456)
Use #egg=model==version to allow pip to check for existing installations. The download is only started if no installation matching the package/version is found. Fixes a long-standing inconvenience.
* Pass additional options to pip when installing model (resolves#1456)
Treat all additional arguments passed to the download command as pip options to allow user to customise the command. For example:
python -m spacy download en --user
* Add CLI option to enable installing model package dependencies
* Revert "Add CLI option to enable installing model package dependencies"
This reverts commit 9336ffe695.
* Update documentation
* Add spacy.errors module
* Update deprecation and user warnings
* Replace errors and asserts with new error message system
* Remove redundant asserts
* Fix whitespace
* Add messages for print/util.prints statements
* Fix typo
* Fix typos
* Move CLI messages to spacy.cli._messages
* Add decorator to display error code with message
An implementation like this is nice because it only modifies the string when it's retrieved from the containing class – so we don't have to worry about manipulating tracebacks etc.
* Remove unused link in spacy.about
* Update errors for invalid pipeline components
* Improve error for unknown factories
* Add displaCy warnings
* Update formatting consistency
* Move error message to spacy.errors
* Update errors and check if doc returned by component is None
In general, it's nice for models to specify spaCy as a dependency. However, this tends to cause problems in conda environments, as pip will re-install spaCy and its dependencies (especially Thinc)
On fresh install via subprocess, pip.get_installed_distributions()
won't show new model, so is_package check in link command fails.
Solution for now is to get model package path explicitly and pass it to
link command.
