Problem installing sentence transformers in jupyter notebook.

[ismaelfernandezdelacoteralorenzo]

Once I installed the sentence transformer package apparently without any problem, when I execute the command "from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer" I get the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last) Cell In[1], line 1 ----> 1 from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer

File ~\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages\sentence_transformers__init.py:3 1 version = "2.6.1" 2 MODEL_HUB_ORGANIZATION__ = "sentence-transformers" ----> 3 from .datasets import SentencesDataset, ParallelSentencesDataset 4 from .LoggingHandler import LoggingHandler 5 from .SentenceTransformer import SentenceTransformer

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torch._C'

I don't know how to solve it, I have verified that Torch is correctly installed. Any ideas?? thank you so much

Hello,

Thanks for opening an issue here. The issue originates directly from the import of torch, i.e. via from torch.utils.data import Dataset, so I suspect that there is some issue with your torch installation. If you run the following code:

from torch.utils.data import Dataset

Do you also get this same crash?

People have gotten the same error message online a few times before, often times it was related to a file/directory called torch or an incorrect torch installation (which was sometimes solved with reinstalling torch). Otherwise, others have experienced the same issue with Sentence Transformers: #1758. Perhaps you also have luck with Python 3.9?

Indeed, when executing said line the same error appears. I have tried reinstalling torch and I can't get rid of the problem, so I will try changing the version of Python. But the truth is, it's something I don't know how to do to use version 3.9.
