This happened to me too on my new machine, it's got to do with the new SpaCy version (>3.0.0). For me installing an older version (2.3) solved the problem and I can use Blackstone.

@thibault- I installed spacy 2.3.0 but I am still running into issues.

[ryanmcdonough]

@varsha1288 you need version 2.1.8, anything 2.2.0 and above falls over.

But still getting the same error.

Think you need to use python 3.6.12 as well.

For those who had the error:
OSError: [E053] Could not read config.cfg from
/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/en_blackstone_proto/en_blackstone_proto-0.0.1/config.cfg
As mentioned above you need python 3.6 and spacy 2.1.6. Follow the steps below (assuming you are working on anaconda):

o Step 1: create new env (conda create -n myenv)/ then activate (conda activate myenv)
o Step 2: unistall python (conda uninstall python)
o Step 3: install python 3.6 (conda install python=3.6)
o Check python version (python –version)
o Step 4: install spacy (pip install spacy==2.1.6)
o Step 5: install blackstone (pip install blackstone)
o pip install https://blackstone-model.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/en_blackstone_proto-0.0.1.tar.gz
o Step 7: inside the env install jupyter (conda install jupyter notebook) if you want to work on jupyter.
You can start a jupyter notebook with this environment by simply writing on the command line (with your env activated)
jupyter notebook
