When I tried importing the NLP library 'Spacy' using import spacy I'm getting the following error:

Python
ImportError: cannot import name 'COMBINING_DIACRITICS' from 'spacy.lang.char_classes'


Here are my versions:

spacy==3.7.2
spacy-legacy==3.0.12

thinc==8.2.2

pydantic==1.8.2
pydantic_core==2.14.6

python version - 3.9.18



Complete error:

What I have tried:

I tried installing, uninstalling Spacy, Upgrading the library & all the other common checks. Where is the issue?
Posted

Fixed the issue by creating a new Conda Environment & installing Spacy.

That won't make any difference if the import does not include all the correct parts. Also Python has its own built in virtual environment creator: venv — Creation of virtual environments — Python 3.11.7 documentation[^].
