Exception: Python patch version not an integer
```

### Expected behavior

Should not output an exception. E.g. this code runs as-is (after `pip install transformers`) in Google Colab.
This is very odd.

Could you share maybe a bit more about your environment so we could reproduce ?
It seems like the way Python itself is installed is odd (I'm purely inferring from the error message), maybe ?

Is it possible to provide a way to reproduce maybe ? Like a docker image or something ?

It does seem to work on colab so it's hard to know what is wrong with the enviroment. It also seems like there's a mix of `conda` and `pip` install which might be at play (both link to different things, so maybe the linker is confused somehow ?)
I tried googling your error message but nothing came up..
<|||||>I met the same problem and fixed it by degrading the transformers version like 4.22.0 or others.<|||||>Experienced the same problem. I also downgraded to make it work.

i dont know what the _commit_hash variable is used for, but removing the line in transformers/pipelines/__init__.py also seems to work.

this line `hub_kwargs["_commit_hash"] = model.config._commit_hash`

A fix for this would be very appreciated<|||||>I think it was related to this [issue](https://github.com/huggingface/safetensors/issues/142).  All PyTorch container images of [NVIDIA NGC](https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/frameworks/pytorch-release-notes/rel-22-12.html#rel-22-12) have alpha version tags for PyTorch. cc @Narsil <|||||>Thanks @Codle .

It seems to be indeed the issue. Releasing a new version soon so everyone has access.<|||||>Should be fixed with new version (0.2.8), could you confirm ?<|||||>Hi @Narsil, sorry for my late response. After updating safetensors to 0.2.8, it works fine for me.<|||||>Closing this. Thank you for sharing !<|||||>Updating safetensors solved it for me too. Thanks!<|||||>despite downgrading my safetensors, I get the following error
