Comments: Hi @wccccp, thanks for reporting. 
That's weird since `huggingface_hub` _has_ a module called `hf_api` and you are using a recent version of it. 

Which version of `datasets` are you using? And is it a bug that you experienced only recently? (cc @lhoestq can it be somehow related to the recent release of `datasets`?)

~@wccccp what I can suggest you is to uninstall and reinstall completely huggingface_hub and datasets? My first guess is that there is a discrepancy somewhere in your setup 😕~

@wccccp Actually I have also been able to reproduce the error so it's not an issue with your setup.

@huggingface/datasets I found this issue quite weird. Is this a module that is not used very often?
The problematic line is [this one](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blame/c33e8ce68b5000988bf6b2e4bca27ffaa469acea/src/datasets/data_files.py#L476) where `huggingface_hub.hf_api.DatasetInfo` is used. `huggingface_hub` is imported [here](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blame/c33e8ce68b5000988bf6b2e4bca27ffaa469acea/src/datasets/data_files.py#L6) as `import huggingface_hub`. However since modules are lazy-loaded in `hfh` you need to explicitly import them (i.e. `import huggingface_hub.hf_api`).

What's weird is that nothing has changed for months. Datasets code seems that it didn't change for 2 years when I git-blame this part. And lazy-loading was introduced 1 year ago in `huggingface_hub`. Could it be that `data_files.py` is a file almost never used?


For context, I tried to run `import huggingface_hub; huggingface_hub.hf_api.DatasetInfo` in the terminal with different versions of `hfh` and I need to go back to `huggingface_hub==0.7.0` to make it work (latest is 0.13.3).

Before the error happens at line 120 in `data_files.py`, `datasets.filesystems.hffilesystem` is imported at the top of `data_files.py` and this file does `from huggingface_hub.hf_api import DatasetInfo` - so `huggingface_hub.hf_api` is imported. Not sure how the error could happen, what version of `datasets` are you using @wccccp ?
