How can I tell if Gensim Word2Vec is using the C compiler?
<p>I am trying to use Gensim's Word2Vec implementation. Gensim warns that if you don't have a C compiler, the training will be 70% slower.  Is there away to verify that Gensim is correctly using the C Compiler I have installed?</p>

<p>I am using Anaconda Python 3.5 on Windows 10.</p>

<p>Apparently gensim offers a variable to detect this:</p>

<pre><code>assert gensim.models.doc2vec.FAST_VERSION &gt; -1
</code></pre>

<p>I found this line in this tutorial:
