v8.2.0: Disable automatic MXNet and TensorFlow imports
✨ New features and improvements
To improve loading times and reduce conflicts, MXNet and TensorFlow are no longer imported automatically (#890).
⚠️ Backwards incompatibilities
MXNet and TensorFlow support needs to be enabled explicitly. Previously, MXNet and TensorFlow were imported automatically if they were available in the current environment.
To enable MXNet:
from thinc.api import enable_mxnet
enable_mxnet()To enable TensorFlow:
from thinc.api import enable_tensorflow
enable_tensorflow()With spaCy CLI commands you can provide this custom code using -c code.py. For training use spacy train -c code.py and to package your code with your pipeline use spacy package -c code.py.
Future deprecation warning: built-in MXNet and TensorFlow support will be removed in Thinc v9. If you need MXNet or TensorFlow support in the future, you can transition to using a custom copy of the current MXNetWrapper or TensorFlowWrapper in your package or project.
