Getting ImportError when using torchtext

Question

I'm getting the following error when I try to run this line of code:

from torchtext.data import Field, TabularDataset, BucketIterator, Iterator


ImportError: cannot import name 'Field' from 'torchtext.data' (C:\Users\user1\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\torchtext\data\__init__.py)

I was wondering if anyone knows what the issue might be and how to resolve it?

Could I use from `torchtext.legacy import data` instead of my current import statement? — QMan5, Mar 09 '21 at 16:20
You can use the legacy also or maybe it would be good to downgrade to torchtext==0.8.0 — Prabhat Kumar Sahu, Mar 09 '21 at 16:50
Ok, I'll try legacy first then try to downgrade torchtext and see if my results are any different. Do you want to make your comment the answer? — QMan5, Mar 09 '21 at 17:33

torchtext.data becomes torchtext.legacy.data

from torchtext.legacy.data import Field, TabularDataset, BucketIterator, Iterator

Downgrade torchtext to `0.8.0`, On current version i did not see this functionality yet. (hope someone can solve this, thanks) – niek tuytel Mar 14 '22 at 14:21

conda install -c pytorch torchtext==0.8

This worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04.

I come up with this when using colab, then I update the torchtext version by

pip install -U torchtext

and it works for me

When I installed torchtext 0.8, the following error occurred, so I installed 0.6 and it was resolved.

undefined symbol: _znk3c104type14issubtypeofextest10shared_ptris0_epso

If there is someone who can't install 0.8, try installing 0.6 with the code below.

pip install -U torchtext==0.6
