How to Fix AttributeError: module ‘torchtext.data’ has no attribute ‘Field’

The AttributeError: module ‘torchtext.data’ has no attribute ‘Field’ error occurs in Pytorch when it interpreter indicates that the Field class is not found in the torchtext.data module.

The quick fix for AttributeError: module ‘torchtext.data’ has no attribute ‘Field’ error is to update the torchtext library using this command: pip install torchtext –upgrade and import the Field attribute from torchtext.legacy.data.Field.

The imports would change this way:

from torchtext.legacy import data

The class has been moved to a different module within the torchtext library, I checked the latest version’s documentation to see if it has been moved to a different location and yes, it is moved.

Now all the legacy components are placed in torchtext.legacy.data folder.

Check out some of the torchtext components.

torchtext.data.Pipeline -> torchtext.legacy.data.Pipeline
torchtext.data.Batch -> torchtext.legacy.data.Batch
torchtext.data.Example -> torchtext.legacy.data.Example
torchtext.data.Field -> torchtext.legacy.data.Field
torchtext.data.Iterator -> torchtext.legacy.data.Iterator
torchtext.data.Dataset -> torchtext.legacy.data.Dataset

I hope this will fix the error you are having!

That’s it.
