Windows Permission Error (most recent version of datasets)

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help me with why the dataset loading script below raises a Windows Permission Error? I stuck quite closely to https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob/master/datasets/conll2003/conll2003.py , only I want to load the data from three local three-column tsv-files (id\ttokens\tpos_tags\n). I am using the most recent version of datasets. Thank you in advance!
Luisa

My script:
```
import datasets

logger = datasets.logging.get_logger(__name__)


class SampleConfig(datasets.BuilderConfig):

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):

Hi @itsLuisa !

Could you give us more information about the error you're getting, please?
A copy-paste of the Traceback would be nice to get a better understanding of what is wrong :)

Hi @itsLuisa, thanks for sharing the Traceback.

You are defining the "id" field as a `string` feature:
```python
class Sample(datasets.GeneratorBasedBuilder):
    ...

    def _info(self):
        return datasets.DatasetInfo(
            features=datasets.Features(
                {
                    "id": datasets.Value("string"),
                    # ^^ here
                    "tokens": datasets.Sequence(datasets.Value("string")),
                    "pos_tags": datasets.Sequence(datasets.features.ClassLabel(names=[...])),
[...]
```

But in the `_generate_examples`, the "id" field is a list:
```python
ids = list()
```

Changing:
```python
"id": datasets.Value("string"),
```
Into:
```python
"id": datasets.Sequence(datasets.Value("string")),
```

Should fix your issue.

Let me know if this helps!

It seems to be working now, thanks a lot for the help, @SBrandeis !

Glad to hear it!
I'm closing the issue
