spacy fails to run with error: 'cymem.cymem' has no attribute 'PyMalloc'

I am unable to get spacy to run.

After installing spacy pip install spacy and running $python -m spacy I received the following error

$ python -m spacy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/i862304/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 183, in _run_module_as_main

    from preshed.maps import PreshMap
  File "cymem.pxd", line 4, in init preshed.maps
AttributeError: module 'cymem.cymem' has no attribute 'PyMalloc'

Uninstalling and reinstalling spacy did not fix the issue.
For reference I am running osx 10.14 and python 3.6.7

Uninstalling thinc and cymem and then reinstalling spacy fixed this issue for me

pip uninstall thinc
pip uninstall cymem
pip install spacy
