How to get the dependency tree with spaCy?

Question

I have been trying to find how to get the dependency tree with spaCy but I can\'t find anything on how to get the tree, only on how to navigate the tree.

Answer 1

I also needed to do it so below full code:

import sys
def showTree(sent):
    def __showTree(token):
        sys.stdout.write("{")
        [__showTree(t) for t in token.lefts]
        sys.stdout.write("%s->%s(%s)" % (token,token.dep_,token.tag_))
        [__showTree(t) for t in token.rights]
        sys.stdout.write("}")
    return __showTree(sent.root)

And if you want spacing for the terminal:

def showTree(sent):
    def __showTree(token, level):
        tab = "\t" * level
        sys.stdout.write("\n%s{" % (tab))
        [__showTree(t, level+1) for t in token.lefts]
        sys.stdout.write("\n%s\t%s [%s] (%s)" % (tab,token,token.dep_,token.tag_))
        [__showTree(t, level+1) for t in token.rights]
        sys.stdout.write("\n%s}" % (tab))
    return __showTree(sent.root, 1)
