Hi, I am facing a problem while creating package for the text classification model using Spacy library. The error shown is : [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long: it also mentions Shutil.Error in the beginning. How to resolve this issue? ![s1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/prodigy/original/1X/b711c2eaefa871bfcfbf41403c6b96d6fd962e0f.png) ---

What’s the command you ran and what paths did you use? It looks like you might have accidentally created the Python package _within the same directory_ as the model you trained. When you package the model, spaCy will copy the input data (trained model) into the package directory recursively, and then add all the package-specific files. But because you’re copying it into itself, you’re basically creating an infinite loop with insanely long paths, until `shutil` gives up. Try removing all the nested directories created by the package command and start again, using a different directory as the output 🙂 ---

This is the command which i have used. python -m spacy package C:\Users\amanpresingh\Desktop\new\_prody C:\Users\amanpresingh\Desktop\final --create-meta So , basically i must change the output directory to a completely new folder? ---

Hey John, yes I have used LPT. It is effective for longpath files. You can google to get more information about it. ---
