How to get word2index from gensim

Question

By doc we can use this to read a word2vec model with genism

model = KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format(\'word2vec.50d.txt\', binary=False)

This

Answer 1

The mappings from word-to-index are in the KeyedVectors vocab property, a dictionary with objects that include an index property.

For example:

word = "whatever"  # for any word in model
i = model.vocab[word].index
model.index2word[i] == word  # will be true

Answer 2

Even simpler solution would be to enumerate index2word

word2index = {token: token_index for token_index, token in enumerate(w2v.index2word)} 
word2index['hi'] == 30308  # True
