Huggingface: NameError: name 'pipeline' is not defined

I try to execute the standard intro example from the HuggingFace documentation in a Jupiter notebook:

from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline("sentiment-analysis")
classifier("I've been waiting for a HuggingFace course my whole life.")

Importing the pipeline method apparently works -- no error message. If I declare the classifier in the next line, I get the following error:

NameError Traceback (most recent call last) /var/folders/m_/sn4z8b8s6676slgsrc3smg7w0000gn/T/ipykernel_7310/39715268.py in ----> 1 classifier = pipeline("sentiment-analysis") 2 classifier("I've been waiting for a HuggingFace course my whole life.")

NameError: name 'pipeline' is not defined

The transformers library is installed. The error also occurs after creating a clean environment and only installing transformers, tensor flow, and dependencies.

Importing other libraries and using their methods works.

I have previously worked with HuggingFace. I encounter this error since moving my files to a new MacBook.

Does anyone know what could cause this weird behavior?

Importing transformers does not produce an error either, yet calling

transformers.__version__

Produces a Name Error also.

Edit: The transformers library is installed in the environment I use to run the notebook -- pip show transformers yields:

This should solve the problem, I would guess.

pipeline = keras_ocr.pipeline.Pipeline()

this seems like you haven´t installed the transformers library you should read this documentation: https://huggingface.co/transformers/quicktour.html

TLDR: you should run this command on your terminal

>>> pip install transformers

or if you use anaconda

>>> conda install transformers
