@F1729 I just relax dependency version check on huggingface-hub. It seems working with extra/python-huggingface-hub.

@F1729 - thank you so much! This helped! Appreciate you!

@shaynaknyc You can locally resolve the issue by downgrading the package "python-huggingface-hub" to the last compatible version, 0.36.0.

@daskol Would it make sense to specify the dependency to "python-huggingface-hub < 1.0" until the issue is resolved upstream?

Sooo....like....do we just sit and wait for upstream to fix this? Is there no workaround or manually applied fix?

Do we actually know why originally the huggingface-hub version has been limited to be < 1.0?

There's more info upstream: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/41970 . Mainly, huggingfacehub 1.0 is mentioned to have broke a lot of projects that otherwise worked well with the current release of transformers. So this was an intentional choice upstream made at some point to have tight interdependencies.

From github i see, that main branch has "huggingface-hub>=1.0.0,<2.0", defined in dependecies.

I do see the upstream setup.py has incremented the huggingface-hub version check. This AUR project is tied to releases which there has not been a new one yet for this change and whatever else they have worked on to make it more compatible with huggingfacehub 1.0+

the issue with huggingface-hub dependency still persists:

Adding:

prepare() { cd "$_pkgname-$pkgver"

sed -i 's/"huggingface-hub>=0.34.0,<1.0"/"huggingface-hub>=0.34.0"/g' src/transformers/dependency_versions_table.py

to the PKGBUILD immediately after depends=()

worked for me

Hello, thank you for maintaining this. I am getting the same error during check stage: 

ImportError: huggingface-hub>=0.34.0,<1.0 is required for a normal functioning of this module, but found huggingface-hub==1.1.1.

Which I realize is an issue with the upstream having the import step check the version of huggingface-hub hardcoded into it. It did seem strange to me that what triggered the python-transformers update was the update to huggingface-hub, even though the two versions are incompatible. But thinking about it differently:

Had python-transformers NOT updated (suggested below), then anything trying to import transformers would still fail because:

  • upstream's import checks what version of huggingface-hub is installed (with an upper limit)
  • huggingface-hub updated before upstream transformers, making the two incompatible

I'm not really sure what the best solution there is besides users downgrading huggingface-hub and managing their versions themselves (which is what I did for now).
