The current version of the package on github has an error when loading dataset

Instead of downloading the package from pip, downloading the version from source will result in an error when loading dataset (the pip version is completely fine):

To recreate the error: 
First, installing nlp directly from source:
```
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/nlp.git
cd nlp
pip install -e .
```
Then run:
```
from nlp import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset('wikitext', 'wikitext-2-v1',split = 'train') 
```
will give error:

```
>>> dataset = load_dataset('wikitext', 'wikitext-2-v1',split = 'train')

Thanks for reporting !
Which version of transformers are you using ?
It looks like it doesn't have the PreTrainedTokenizerBase class

I was using transformer 2.9. And I switch to the latest transformer package. Everything works just fine!!

Thanks for helping! I should look more carefully next time. Didn't realize loading the data part requires using tokenizer.


Yes it shouldn’t fail with older version of transformers since this is only a special feature to make caching more efficient when using transformers for tokenization.
We’ll update this.
