pip install prodigy-1.5.1-cp35.cp36-cp35m.cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl completes, however, it shows the following error.

While running prodigy, I get the following error

I have successfully installed and running prodigy in another machine. Looks like it is happening because prodigy install is picking latest spacy and that gives the above mentioned error?

Currently, the workaround I am using is as follows. However, nice if prodigy locks to the correct version of spacy which will work

    pip uninstall spacy
    pip install 'spacy==2.0.12'

Sorry about that – this is only temporary but a necessary update we had to make! See here for details:

Copying over the relevant part ("tomorrow" = today, since that post was from yesterday):

Apologies for this, but it's a consequence of pip's compromises between efficiency and fidelity in version resolution. Pip processes dependencies in order, and doesn't backtrack if it comes to a dependency conflict.

We'll be releasing a version 1.6.0 of Prodigy tomorrow, which will resolve the version conflict. While we understood that this update could cause problems, it was necessary to support Python 3.7, and also to upload binary wheels for spaCy and its dependent packages.
