Comments: Hi @arymbe, thanks for reporting.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce your problem.

Could you please write the complete stack trace? That way we will be able to see which package originates the exception.

Hello, thank you for your fast replied. this is the complete error that I got

AttributeError: module 'huggingface_hub' has no attribute 'hf_api'

This is weird... It is long ago that the package `huggingface_hub` has a submodule called `hf_api`.

Maybe you have a problem with your installed `huggingface_hub`...

Could you please try to update it?
```shell
pip install -U huggingface_hub
```

Yap, I've updated several times. Then, I've tried numeral combination of datasets and huggingface_hub versions. However, I think your point is right that there is a problem with my huggingface_hub installation. I'll try another way to find the solution. I'll update it later when I get the solution. Thank you :)

I'm sorry I can't reproduce your problem.

Maybe you could try to create a new Python virtual environment and install all dependencies there from scratch. You can use either:
- Python venv: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
- or conda venv (if you are using conda): https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html

Facing the same issue.

```

A workaround: 
I changed lines around Line 125 in `__init__.py` of `huggingface_hub` to something like
```
__getattr__, __dir__, __all__ = _attach(
    __name__,
    submodules=['hf_api'],
```
and it works ( which gives `datasets` direct access to `huggingface_hub.hf_api` ).

I was getting the same issue. After trying a few versions, following combination worked for me.
dataset==2.3.2
huggingface_hub==0.7.0

In another environment, I just installed latest repos from pip through `pip install -U transformers datasets tokenizers evaluate`, resulting in following versions. This also worked. Hope it helps someone. 

datasets-2.3.2 evaluate-0.1.2 huggingface-hub-0.8.1 responses-0.18.0 tokenizers-0.12.1 transformers-4.20.1

For layoutlm_v3 finetune
datasets-2.3.2 evaluate-0.1.2 huggingface-hub-0.8.1 responses-0.18.0 tokenizers-0.12.1 transformers-4.12.5

(For layoutlmv3 fine-tuning) In my case, modifying `requirements.txt` as below worked.

- python = 3.7

```
datasets==2.3.2
evaluate==0.1.2
huggingface-hub==0.8.1
response==0.5.0
tokenizers==0.10.1

GOOD!! Thanks!

I encountered the same issue where the problem is the absence of the 'scipy' library.
To solve this open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command to install 'scipy':   pip install scipy .
Restart the kernel and rerun the cell and it will work.

I face with the same issue. After using your approach I solve the issue.Thank you very much.
`pip install -U datasets`
