Add spacy model as dependency to SETUP.PY

[madkote]

How to reproduce the problem

I would like to add spacy model to setup.py as dependency.
by installing the package with spacy model as dependency, there is an error.

REQUIRES_INSTALL = [
    'en-core-web-sm@git+https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.3.0/en_core_web_sm-2.3.0.tar.gz',
...
]

pip setup.py bdist_wheel
pip install mypack.whl
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement en-core-web-sm (from mypack==0.3.5) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for en-core-web-sm (from mypack==0.3.5)

Your Environment

• Operating System: ubuntu
• Python Version Used: 2.7.9
• spaCy Version Used: 2.3.2

Hi, here's how you can provide the model URL as a pip requirement:

https://spacy.io/usage/models#models-download

I have to admit I'm not entirely sure what all the possibilities are here in terms of how pip can interpret the URL, but the model is an asset attached to the github release, not part of the spacy-models git repo itself, so I think that you don't want a git+https URL.

@adrianeboyd thx. well, that is the requirements.txt and not setup.py -> the question was explicit and not answered.

[adrianeboyd]

Have you not tried the URL as shown in the docs above? This should work:

en_core_web_sm@https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-2.3.1/en_core_web_sm-2.3.1.tar.gz

@adrianeboyd I think I did, let me come back to it today or tomorrow. thx!

I'm also stuck while trying to add de_core_news_sm model as a dependency in setup.py. Have you already come up with any solution?

Did any one know of a solution . I m also trying to add en_core_web_log model as a dependency in setup.py . Please answer

You've probably gotten a typo there en_core_web_log -> en_core_web_lg.

[trkrishnan]

That was a typo while typing the message. I m also trying to add en_core_web_lg model as a dependency in setup.py - Running into multiple issues. Hence wanted to check if any one is to do spacy model installation through setup.py

[koaning]

In that case, could you share an example of a setup.py file that's breaking?
