Hi guys,
I'm trying to use spaCy library but get error:
self.nlp = spacy.load('en')
OSError : [E050] Can't find model 'en'. It doesn't seem to be a shortcut link, a Python package or a valid path to a data directory.
When we do:
pip install spacy
spaCy links the name 'en' to the package it downloaded, e.g. 'en_core_web_sm' , but it not happend in QC enviroment.
Is there a solution to this issue?

Hi Alexander,
We do not have ‘en_core_web_sm’ as a supported package. To see the supported packages, refer to the supported libraries list.
To request a library, please contact support@quantconnect.com.
Best,

Hi Gahl.
Thank you for your answer. You right, models are not downloaded automatically when we install spaCy, so we have to download them separately.
Although it's weird to have spaCy without being able to load english models.
