To address the ModuleNotFoundError in your Google Colab code for the taming-transformers library I updated the problematic import to ensure compatibility with current PyTorch installation:

Install the six library !pip install six

In the /content/taming-transformers/taming/data/utils.py file or wherever the error occurs, replace: from torch._six import string_classes with: from six import string_types as string_classes

This solved it for me using Google Collab, hope this helps.
