Spacy >=3.3.0

[mpetruc]

Hi, was wondering if there is a timeline for supporting Spacy >=3.3.0? What pitfalls should i expect if i tried to manually modify the requirements to allow it? thank you.

There is no timeline, but it looks like it doesn't necessarily require retraining the models, so it might just work if you change the requirements or force install it.

Not sure whether it would have an impact, but Spacy >=3.3 has looser dependencies on typing-extensions. typing_extensions>=3.7.4.1,<4.2.0; python_version < "3.8" The current restriction in Spacy == 2.2.x makes it difficult to compile with recently updated libraries.

Ok, I will try to release an updated version soon. I was trying to add something new with the next release but haven't really had time. I had already done most of the upgrade to 3.3.x, but will have to see what upgrading to 3.4.x entails.

@qhreul @mpetruc @davidefiocco I just release scispacy 0.5.1, which is compatible with spacy 3.4.x
