Got it fixed. Thanks!

I don't like re-opening this, but could you share some insight into what was the problem and how you fixed it? I'm having the same issue.

Make sure you are using the latest version of datasets. Run pip install --upgrade datasets to upgrade your datasets library.

Hi, can we reopen this issue? I'm having the same problem on datasets 1.2.1 (which is the current version in conda).

>>> metric = load_metric("glue", "mnli")

Sorry for the late reply. The error message is more or less confusing. My case/experience was that the error was nothing related to this function. Check and make sure your packages/environment/dependencies are updated and compatible, including pip and python wheels etc. Please let me know if you experience any other questions. Thx.

@Autumn1994 What version are you using of datasets and python?

[Autumn1994]

Python 3.6.9 and 1.2.1 for datasets.

[nsaphra]

I am using 1.2.1 as well. Could you give some more details of how you fixed your problem? It seems that we had the same error thrown by the same function.

[Autumn1994]

@nsaphra I couldn't remember every steps I took as I didn't have a clear path that time and it's a bit self-exploratory. Sorry about that. My guess is that the error was caused by the recent updates of python wheels (Dec 2020). Check that first and then reinstall the packages (not a must) and see if that works.

@nsaphra I just faced the same issue. I was using 1.2.1 from conda and received the same AttributeError complaining about 'add_start_docstrings'. Uninstalling the conda installed datasets and then installing the latest datasets (version 1.5.0) using pip install solved the issue for me. I don't like mixing up conda and pip installs in the same environments but this will have to do for now, until 1.5.0 is made available through conda.
