ImportError: cannot import name 'train_chars' from 'the_pile.pile' #67

Closed viashimat closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm running Python3.8 on Ubuntu Linux.

Following the usage instructions, I have been able to run pip install e .

However when I run python the_pile/pile.py --download to download all the data, I get the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'train_chars' from 'the_pile.pile'.

Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it please?

Thanks in advance.

We have been making some changes to the interface over the past couple days. If you try it now, does it work?

Hi Stella,

The problem persists. The error is the same.

StellaAthena commented 3 years ago

Is there a specific line or file that is giving that error? I don’t see anything that would try to import train_chars from the-pile\pile.py

I've re-tested and the code works perfectly now. Thank you so much.

Great! Apologies about the problems, but that’s what happens when you use code that hasn’t been released yet :P We expect to have a stable and easy to use version published by the end of the year.
