Hi,
Let’s say I’m using spaCy conditionally. Let’s also say I want to decrease my script’s loading time by importing the library only when it is actually required. All is good so far: I can simply put
import spacy
into a function that gets called when the library is needed. But if the function returns a result of type, say,spacy.language.Doc
, how do I annotate it without loading the module first? Bothimport spacy
andimport spacy.language
take a couple of seconds to execute.Thanks to all the maintainers for the great tool, by the way!
