ImportError: cannot import name '_TPU_AVAILABLE' from 'pytorch_lightning.utilities'

[ProfessorQu]

Tested in a colab notebook, with !pip install aitextgen -q. Then ran

from aitextgen import aitextgen

ai = aitextgen()

in the next cell, an got this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the same issue on an M1.

You can fix it by downgrading aitextgen

pip3 install -q aitextgen==0.5.2

[katemonster33]

@dephraiim Downgrading did not work for me - same error.

[ioistired]

Can confirm this issue on both 0.5.2 and 0.6.0.

[katemonster33]

Was able to get past this error by downgrading pytorch_lightning to 1.7.7, still having errors in torch though.

[bdunnette]

Uninstalling torch and then reinstalling with version 1.9.0 seems to do the trick:

!pip uninstall -qqy torch torchvision torchtext torchaudio fastai
!pip install -qq torch==1.9.0 pytorch-lightning==1.7.7 aitextgen==0.6.0 

[mirrorsonthewall]

Tried bdunnette's code but it gave an error, something like that pytorch wasn't available among options of pytorch-lighting 1.11.0 through 1.13.0, so I chose 1.11.0 and it seemed to work instead (after running first uninstall line):

pip install -qq torch==1.9.0 pytorch-lightning==1.11.0 aitextgen==0.6.0

FYI, I had the same error. A downgrade to 0.5.2 did not change behaviour, but a further step back to 0.5.1 worked.

This is under pyenv/venv 3.9.15

Same issue here. Interestingly I installed the packages with the same command on 2 different machines(Same ubuntu server OS) and only one of them is having this issue.

This solved it:

pip uninstall -qqy torch torchvision torchtext torchaudio fastai
pip install -qq torch==1.11.0 pytorch-lightning==1.7.7 aitextgen==0.6.0

[thani-ath-nain]

None of the above worked for me. Please someone suggest something different

[carmocca]

For any lurkers, @llimllib was kind enough to propose a fix in #202. You can apply the patch locally or pip install git+https://github.com/llimllib/aitextgen@fix_tpu_available until a maintainer merges the PR (at your own discretion).

For the project maintainers, it might be a good idea to pin your dependencies, particularly the PL one, to avoid issues like this:

aitextgen/requirements.txt

Line 3 in 7424601

pytorch-lightning>=1.3.1

[jryebread]

Still getting this issue even after pip installing the separate branch 🤔 None of these options worked for me in the finetuning gpt2 colab

[pst2154]

All I had to do was restart my jupyter kernal after installing, then import worked

[KonradHoeffner]

The solution of @carmocca worked for me, but only after pip uninstall aitextgen first.
