The following worked for me until a few days ago. But now it doesn’t, even after clearing cache. ```python from huggingface_hub import login login("...") from datasets import load_datasets ds = load_dataset("ARTPARK-IISc/VAANI", "Goa_NorthSouthGoa") ``` I get the error: ```python Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 2129, in load_dataset builder_instance = load_dataset_builder( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 1849, in load_dataset_builder dataset_module = dataset_module_factory( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 1731, in dataset_module_factory raise e1 from None File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 1696, in dataset_module_factory ).get_module() ^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 1100, in get_module builder_configs, default_config_name = create_builder_configs_from_metadata_configs( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/load.py", line 664, in create_builder_configs_from_metadata_configs builder_config_cls( File "", line 12, in __init__ File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/packaged_modules/parquet/parquet.py", line 26, in __post_init__ super(). __post_init__ () File "/mnt/51eb0667-f71d-4fe0-a83e-beaff24c04fb/anaconda/envs/vaanienv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/datasets/builder.py", line 125, in __post_init__ raise InvalidConfigName( datasets.builder.InvalidConfigName: Bad characters from black list '<>:/\|?*' found in 'audio/AndhraPradesh/Guntur'.

It seems that the same thing has happened before. I think it’s a problem with the data set, so I think it would be better to report it to the author in the discussion section. > **[ARTPARK-IISc/Vaani · Error when loading dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/ARTPARK-IISc/Vaani/discussions/3)** > > When trying to download the dataset, I am running into this error: ---

Thank you. Is there a way to ignore the error and continue (since I’m not on windows) apart from just changing the source code? ---

```auto revision = " **********" # tag name, or branch name, or commit hash ds = load_dataset("ARTPARK-IISc/VAANI", "Goa_NorthSouthGoa", revision=revision ) ``` This seems to be a problem with the dataset, not your program, so I think your only options are to wait for the author to fix it, use an older revision, or find a different dataset… You can see the commit hash using the following method, so if you specify the commit hash from the time when it was working, you should be able to use the previous version. > **[Commits · HuggingFaceTB/finemath](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceTB/finemath/commits/main)** > > We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science. ---

Thank you! They have replied that they are in the process of updating the dataset. I’m now using the revision before they started using it and it works now. I guess I’ll use the updated dataset once it is ready. ---
