Hi, welcome to the forum!

We'd appreciate it if you'd use markdown for formatting code & output, as that makes it all more readable. You can surround a code block with three backticks.

This code seems to be just fine, what kind of environment are you executing this in? Was the model downloaded correctly, any error or warning output? Did you restart your kernel after downloading the model?

To be perfectly honest I'm not sure what's going on here - I've never seen this kind of error before and I've executed spacy.load a million times. My best guess is that some sort of corrupt model is being loaded, so I'd advice creating a clean environment, reinstalling spacy and trying this again.

Let us know how you go?
