Prodigy

  • You would need to buy Prodigy (It is not a free product). It is worth it (Let's try and see)
  • You will get a .whl (python wheel file). Install it in the env that was created
  • pip install "C:<path_to_whl_file>\SpacyProdigy\prodigy-1.10.8-cp36.cp37.cp38-cp36m.cp37m.cp38-win_amd64.whl"

Verify Setup

# Start Prodigy
python -m prodigy

# User home directory should .prodigy
dir %userprofile%
