"UnsupportedOperation: fileno" in Spacy Jupyter Notebook

Question

Anyone might know what this error is about and what to do about it?

Spacy works in python command line interface though.

I have tried to google various parts of the error, but found nothing specific.

This has been on Conda, on Windows 11, with Python 3.9.

Error message below for reference.

It looks like I was just unlucky: github.com/explosion/spaCy/issues/11236 – Palacios

Answer 1

The issue was temporarily addressed by uninstall the current version of Wasabi with an older one.

pip uninstall wasabi -y

pip install wasabi==0.9.1

The folks from Github mentioned that a newer version of Wasabi should avoid this problem.

I had the same problem on Windows 10 in a conda-forge environment, and user3081750's answer worked for me. – Germanize

@Germanize How did u do that for conda? – Icao

conda install wasabi==0.9.1 -c conda-forge, and then I pinned wasabi to 0.9.1 in the conda-meta folder for that environment. With wasabi > 0.9.1, spacy will not import at all at this time, leading to much confusion and frustration. – Germanize

@GeorgeRaveen Open Anaconda Prompt and write these two commands as it is in the prompt. It will work. It worked for me. – Ravelin

@Palacios What is "the current version" of wasabi mentioned in the answer? – Cathrine

Had the same issue. The above solution worked for me. – Andrade

Answer 2

I have the same issue. Maybe you can try that.

conda update spacy

It solved my problem.

Trichoid

Thanks!! Me too, dont forget kernel restart – Omega

Answer 3

This issue has been fixed with spaCy 3.4.3 and wasabi 0.10.1, at least using Python 3.9.
