Hi

Though my original issue was resolved, I now have a new one: the `transformers-cli` is crashing.

I type

```auto
transformers-cli --help

```

and the result is

```auto
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\users\gilad\miniconda3\envs\speechdemoenv_nmt\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    " __main__", mod_spec)
