GitHub issue #2194: py3.7: TypeError: can't pickle _LazyModule objects
State: closed | Created: 2021-04-08T21:02:48Z

While this works fine with py3.8, under py3.7, with a totally new conda env and transformers install:

```
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
cd transformers
pip install -e .[testing]

export BS=1; rm -rf /tmp/test-clm; PYTHONPATH=src USE_TF=0 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python \
examples/language-modeling/run_clm.py --model_name_or_path distilgpt2 --dataset_name wikitext \
--dataset_config_name wikitext-2-raw-v1 --do_train --max_train_samples 1 \
--per_device_train_batch_size $BS --output_dir /tmp/test-clm --block_size 128 --logging_steps 1  \
--fp16
```

```
