I am trying to create a dataset from a `Pandas` dataframe,. follwoing [this](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/v2.11.0/tabular_load) documentation  
When I run the code:

```auto
from datasets import Dataset
my_dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(df['text','encodings'])

```

I get this error:

`AttributeError: type object 'Dataset' has no attribute 'from_pandas'`

I would like to know why I have this kind error.

Hi! Which version of `datasets` are you using? You can check this with:

```python
import datasets
print(datasets. __version__ )

```

Version 2.1.0 comes with that method.

If no other code is in between `from datasets import Dataset` and `my_dataset = Dataset.from_pandas(df['text','encodings'])`, e.g., an import, such as Torch `Dataset`, that could overshadow HF `Dataset`, something is off with your environment, so it’s best to delete it and create a new one.
