In order to support Python 3.13, we had to migrate to Cython 3.0. This caused some tricky interaction with our Pydantic usage, because Cython 3 uses the from __future__ import annotations semantics, which causes type annotations to be saved as strings.
The end result is that we can't have Language.factory decorated functions in Cython modules anymore, as the Language.factory decorator expects to inspect the signature of the functions and build a Pydantic model. If the function is implemented in Cython, an error is raised because the type is not resolved.
To address this I've moved the factory functions into a new module, spacy.pipeline.factories. I've added __getattr__ importlib hooks to the previous locations, in case anyone was importing these functions directly. The change should have no backwards compatibility implications.
Along the way I've also refactored the registration of functions for the config. Previously these ran as import-time side-effects, using the registry decorator. I've created instead a new module spacy.registrations. When the registry is accessed it calls a function ensure_populated(), which cases the registrations to occur.
I've made a similar change to the Language.factory registrations in the new spacy.pipeline.factories module.
I want to remove these import-time side-effects so that we can speed up the loading time of the library, which can be especially painful on the CLI. I also find that I'm often working to track down the implementations of functions referenced by strings in the config. Having the registrations all happen in one place will make this easier.
With these changes I've fortunately avoided the need to migrate to Pydantic v2 properly --- we're still using the v1 compatibility shim. We might not be able to hold out forever though: Pydantic (reasonably) aren't actively supporting the v1 shims. I put a lot of work into v2 migration when investigating the 3.13 support, and it's definitely challenging. In any case, it's a relief that we don't have to do the v2 migration at the same time as the Cython 3.0/Python 3.13 support.

See #3028. The solution in this patch is pretty debateable.
What we do is give the TokenC struct a .norm field, by repurposing the previously idle .sense attribute. It's nice to repurpose a previous field because it means the TokenC doesn't change size, so even if someone's using the internals very deeply, nothing will break.
The weird thing here is that the TokenC and the LexemeC both have an attribute named NORM. This arguably assists in backwards compatibility. On the other hand, maybe it's really bad! We're changing the semantics of the attribute subtly, so maybe it's better if someone calling lex.norm gets a breakage, and instead is told to write lex.default_norm?
Overall I believe this patch makes the NORM feature work the way we sort of expected it to work. Certainly it's much more like how the docs describe it, and more in line with how we've been directing people to use the norm attribute. We'll also be able to use token.norm to do stuff like spelling correction, which is pretty cool.
* 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
