You will need python 3.6 to run the training script. Please check.

i try to use python 3.6 to run script, but bug still exist.

hidden_states:List[Optional[Tuple[torch.Tensor,
torch.Tensor]]] = [None] * len(self.forward_layers)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

also i am a little confused about the colon in " hidden_states:List ", what does this mean?

thanks

I am sorry but I cannot reproduce the error.

I believe colon in "hidden_states:List" is PEP 526: Syntax for variable annotations introduced in Python 3.6. See https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html. By the way, we adopt this code from AllenNLP, and I believe it was well-tested. So, please double check your python version.

according to #11 it seems you've successfully run the test script. so i will close this issue.
