Colab is using python 3.7

[hhien]

My notebook suddenly throws import errors: "cannot import name 'Field' from 'torchtext.data' " About 2 weeks ago, it worked perfectly and I didn't change anything since then. I run the code on local notebook using python 3.6, it works. When I check the version of python on Goolge colab, it is 3.7.10. There is no changing python option in Change runtime type menu. I read some said that the default python version in Colab is 3.6.9???

Indeed, colab updated from 3.6 to 3.7 recently. More relevant is that we recently updated to torchtext 0.9.0 (#1892).

In general, you can use pip to install the version of a dep that works with your code (eg !pip install torchtext==0.8.1).

For this particular change, https://github.com/pytorch/text/releases/tag/v0.9.0-rc5 has the info you'll need, I think.
