Hi. I’m trying to follow this tutorial: [Getting Started with Sentiment Analysis using Python (huggingface.co)](https://huggingface.co/blog/sentiment-analysis-python)

When running this line: from datasets import load\_metric

I get an import error. “load\_metric” isn’t found.

Any thoughts?

Support for `load_metric` has been removed in datasets@3.0.0, see [Release 3.0.0 · huggingface/datasets · GitHub](https://github.com/huggingface/datasets/releases/tag/3.0.0).

You now have to use the evaluate library: [🤗 Evaluate](https://huggingface.co/docs/evaluate)

Thanks! I’ll look into that!

## Try the following:

### pip install evaluate

### import evaluate

### metric = evaluate.load(“accuracy”)

@Whenzi This is great, thanks! I got my code working with your two lines and the following within the compute\_metrics function

```auto
    # load_accuracy = load_metric("accuracy")
    # load_f1 = load_metric("f1")
    load_accuracy = evaluate.load("accuracy")
    load_f1 = evaluate.load("f1")

```
