By using sudo python ... you install the model for a different python interpreter than your local one. In fact, it says in your log that the spaCy model is installed to /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ instead of /scratch/sjn/anaconda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/.

Try running python -m spacy download en and it should install the model to the correct directory.

1) Install Spacy

$ python -m spacy download en

2) Install the model en_core_web_sm

$ python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm
>>> import spacy
>>> nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
