Expected behavior

Importing tool class does not raise an error.

Upgrading to hugginggface_hub version 0.14.1 fixes the issue!

my hugginggface_hub version is Version: 0.21.3
and transformers 4.38.1

Hi @Daa06, that's very odd - I'm not able to replicate this error with this hub or transformers version.

Can you verify your versions running in your python session:

>>> import huggingface_hub
>>> import transformers
>>> print(huggingface_hub.__version__)
>>> print(transformers.__version__)

Okay i tried in fact the line "import transformers" give me the same error as above. But I check and it is installed
However the print(huggingface_hub.version) give me 0.20.3

@Daa06 I'd suggest trying to reinstall transformers in your environment: pip install -U transformers
