lexeme not loaded with string lookup

From the doc:

However, following this code:

from spacy.en import English
nlp = English()
lexeme_name = nlp.vocab[1000].orth_
#>>situation
lexeme = nlp.vocab['situation']
#>>*** TypeError: an integer is required

Should not the appropriate lexeme be returned with the string lookup argument?

Well…That might work for now. But if you do it that way, you’ll be in for no end of frustrations as you process more text.

You should work through the unicode/bytes difference in Python 2. It’s pretty important if you’re going to do NLP.

Best practices: make sure all your files have from __future__ import unicode_literals at the top, and always read in files using io.open(loc, encoding='utf8'). This will go most of the way to making things work by default.

I actually figured a work around. With the OP’s code, if you change to

lexeme = nlp.vocab[unicode("situation")]

It probably will work.
