|
|
| If your application depends on one or more models,
|
|
| you'll usually want to integrate them into your continuous integration
|
|
| workflow and build process. While spaCy provides a range of useful helpers
|
|
| for downloading, linking and loading models, the underlying functionality
|
|
| is entirely based on native Python packages. This allows your application
|
|
| to handle a model like any other package dependency.
|
|
|
|
+infobox("Training models for production")
|
|
| For an example of an automated model training and build process, see
|
|
| #[+a("/usage/training#example-training-spacy") this example] of how
|
|
| we're training and packaging our models for spaCy.

+h(3, "models-download") Downloading and requiring model dependencies
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| spaCy's built-in #[+api("cli#download") #[code download]] command
|
|
| is mostly intended as a convenient, interactive wrapper. It performs
|
|
| compatibility checks and prints detailed error messages and warnings.
|
|
| However, if you're downloading models as part of an automated build
|
|
| process, this only adds an unnecessary layer of complexity. If you know
|
|
| which models your application needs, you should be specifying them directly.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| Because all models are valid Python packages, you can add them to your
|
|
| application's #[code requirements.txt]. If you're running your own
|
|
| internal PyPi installation, you can upload the models there. pip's
|
|
| #[+a("https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/reference/pip_install/#requirements-file-format") requirements file format]
|
|
| supports both package names to download via a PyPi server, as well as direct
|
|
| URLs.

|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| Specifying #[code #egg=] with the package name tells pip
|
|
| which package to expect from the download URL. This way, the
|
|
| package won't be re-downloaded and overwritten if it's already
|
|
| installed - just like when you're downloading a package from PyPi.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| All models are versioned and specify their spaCy dependency. This ensures
|
|
| cross-compatibility and lets you specify exact version requirements for
|
|
| each model. If you've trained your own model, you can use the
|
|
| #[+api("cli#package") #[code package]] command to generate the required
|
|
| meta data and turn it into a loadable package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+h(3, "models-loading") Loading and testing models
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| Downloading models directly via pip won't call spaCy's link
|
|
| #[+api("cli#link") #[code link]] command, which creates
|
|
| symlinks for model shortcuts. This means that you'll have to run this
|
|
| command separately, or use the native #[code import] syntax to load the
|
|
| models:
|
|
|
|
+code.
|
|
import en_core_web_sm
|
|
nlp = en_core_web_sm.load()
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| In general, this approach is recommended for larger code bases, as it's
|
|
| more "native", and doesn't depend on symlinks or rely on spaCy's loader
|
|
| to resolve string names to model packages. If a model can't be
|
|
| imported, Python will raise an #[code ImportError] immediately. And if a
|
|
| model is imported but not used, any linter will catch that.
|
|
|
|
p
|
|
| Similarly, it'll give you more flexibility when writing tests that
|
|
| require loading models. For example, instead of writing your own
|
|
| #[code try] and #[code except] logic around spaCy's loader, you can use
|
|
| #[+a("http://pytest.readthedocs.io/en/latest/") pytest]'s
|
|
| #[+a("https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/builtin.html#_pytest.outcomes.importorskip") #[code importorskip()]]
|
|
| method to only run a test if a specific model or model version is
|
|
| installed. Each model package exposes a #[code __version__] attribute
|
|
| which you can also use to perform your own version compatibility checks
|
|
| before loading a model.
