Well actually I'm pretty sure it's because spacy relies on iPython 8.x, but what I have is 9.x.

@kundeng explicitly installing 8.x of iPython in my environment fixed it for me.

Thanks. Downgrading iPython to v8.x from v9 fixed the issue on Linux + Python 3.11.

The issue is in the import from IPython.core.display. In the new version it should be IPython.display. That does work for me

The issue is in the import from IPython.core.display. In the new version it should be IPython.display. That does work for me

import sys
from IPython import display
sys.modules['IPython.core.display'] = display

this fixed it for me, thanks!
