Assertions can't be relied upon for control flow because they can be disabled, as per the following:

$ python --help
usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
...
-O     : remove assert and __debug__-dependent statem

In gensim/models/fasttext.py:

    model = FastText(
        vector_size=m.dim,
        vector_size=m.dim,
        window=m.ws,
        window=m.ws,
        epochs=m.epoch,
        epochs=m.epoch,
        negative=m.neg,
        negative=m.neg,
        # FIXME: these next 2 lines read in unsupported FB FT modes (loss=3 softmax or loss=4 onevsall,
        # or model=3 supervi

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I typically used compressed datasets (e.g. gzipped) to save disk space. This works fine with AllenNLP during training because I can write my dataset reader to load the compressed data. However, the predict command opens the file and reads lines for the Predictor. This fails when it tries to load data from my compressed files.

Hi
Wikiann dataset needs to have "spans" columns, which is necessary to be able to use this dataset, but this column is missing from huggingface datasets, could you please have a look? thank you @lhoestq

We have separate CI and CD pipelines, which share a lot of code actually (like the testing part). This is a bit annoying to maintain at the moment, because we have to do all changes twice. It would be great do modularize this somehow so that both workflows
