import allennlp.modules.highway fails

[cerisara]

I just installed LAMA without error on Ubuntu 20. The run_experiment script immediately crashes because of the following import: when I open python and just run

import allennlp.modules

I've got this error:

>>> import allennlp.modules

Thank you !

pip install overrides==3.1.0 works for me

[cerisara]

Thank you, you're right: it's working with this specific version ! After that, it crashes because of a memory overflow, but that's another story ;-)

Thanks

https://github.com/facebookresearch/LAMA/issues/47, this fixes overflow problem

Great, thanks !
