ImportError while "from torchtext.datasets import text_classification"

[jacoblann]

Has any one encountered the same ImportError that cannot "from torchtext.datasets import text_classification"? Is it because of the version of the torch I installed? I checked this module and found there is no text_classification. Thanks ahead!

[bentrevett]

Are you using the latest version of torchtext (0.4)? I believe the text_classification datasets were added in this release.

[AFAgarap]

@bentrevett Installing torchtext version 0.4 solved it on my end. Thank you!

[violetguos]

I still encountered the same problem when I open the official google colab notebook example on pytorch.org. Perhaps the maintainers can update the cell with !pip install torchtext==0.4. Thanks!

[andre-fu]

For everyone coming here from colab issues:

!pip install Torchtext==0.04 was the better choice!

Need to update torchtext version corresponding to its tutorial

[kwhkim]

I am using torchtext 0.9.0 and I getting the same error.
Is it removed from the package?

@kwhkim @qysnn @valencebond and anyone landing here, had the same problem but as per

https://github.com/pytorch/text/releases/tag/v0.9.0-rc5

old code should still work by firing

# add legacy to the import
from torchtext.legacy.datasets import text_classification

see the release notes about how to use the new versions of the datasets.
