Issue: ImportError when importing datasets.load_dataset
State: closed

### Describe the bug

I encountered an ImportError while trying to import `load_dataset` from the `datasets` module in Hugging Face. The error message indicates a problem with importing 'CommitInfo' from 'huggingface_hub'.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

1. pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/datasets
2. from datasets import load_dataset

### Expected behavior

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name 'CommitInfo' from 'huggingface_hub' (D:\Anaconda3\envs\CS224S\Lib\site-packages\huggingface_hub\__init__.py)
(CS224S)

What is the version of your installed `huggingface-hub`:
```python
import huggingface_hub
print(huggingface_hub.__version__)
```

It seems you have a very old version of `huggingface-hub`, where `CommitInfo` was not still implemented. You need to update it:
```
pip install -U huggingface-hub
```

Note that `CommitInfo` was implemented in huggingface-hub 0.10.0 and datasets requires "huggingface-hub>=0.21.2"

The version of my huggingface-hub is 0.23.4.

The error message says there is no CommitInfo in your installed huggingface-hub library:
```
ImportError: cannot import name 'CommitInfo' from 'huggingface_hub' (D:\Anaconda3\envs\CS224S\Lib\site-packages\huggingface_hub_init_.py)
```

And this is implemented since version 0.10.0:
- https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/pull/1066

I am getting the exact same issue when I `import datasets`. The version of my huggingface-hub is also 0.23.4. I dont see a solution in the comments. Not sure why is this issue closed?

I closed the issue because the problem is not related to the `datasets` library.

The problem is with your local Python environment: it seems corrupted. You could try to remove it and regenerate it again.

I have recreated my conda environment but still run into the same issue. Here is my environment:
```
conda create --name esm python=3.10
 conda activate esm
 conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=12.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia
 pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```
Requirements.txt
```
accelerate
datasets==2.20.0
pyfastx
transformers
boto3
huggingface_hub==0.23.4
```

And then I get:
```
>>> import datasets
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/fsx/ubuntu/miniconda3/envs/esm2/lib/python3.10/site-packages/datasets/__init__.py", line 17, in <module>

    from huggingface_hub import (
ImportError: cannot import name 'CommitInfo' from 'huggingface_hub' (/fsx/ubuntu/miniconda3/envs/esm2/lib/python3.10/site-packages/huggingface_hub/__init__.py)
>>>
```



You can check:
```
>>> import huggingface_hub
>>> print(huggingface_hub.__version__)
```

This is what I see:
```
>>> import huggingface_hub
>>> print(huggingface_hub.__version__)
0.23.4
```

Installing `chardet` makes it work for some reason
