Import Error with version 1.6.0

See original GitHub issue

Created a new env with conda

conda create -n spacy python=3.5 ipython

and then install spacy (1.6.0) with pip (conda still has version 0.101.0)

pip install spacy

But I still get this error.

There is a similar issue here https://github.com/explosion/sense2vec/issues/19 but that solution did not help.

Note, I don’t have that problem on MacOS Sierra.

The conda-forge channel now has spaCy packages up to the latest release. You can install them via: conda install -c conda-forge spacy

I’m facing the same problem on MacOS Sierra with a new Miniconda installation.

My error message is a tad different though and might be more helpful:

from .tokenizer import Tokenizer
File ".env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Cython/Includes/numpy/__init__.pxd", line 155, in init spacy.tokenizer (spacy/tokenizer.cpp:12130)
File "/Users/holger/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 142, in <module>

Ending in:

 AttributeError: module 'threading' has no attribute 'RLock'

I have positively no clue where the .env/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Cython/Includes/numpy/ import path come from. No Python 2.7 installed and no .env directory there either.
