TypeError: <lambda>() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
This looks like a problem with your environment rather than `datasets`. I meet the same problem,
and originally use
```python
locale.getpreferredencoding = lambda : "UTF-8"
```
and change to
```
locale.getpreferredencoding = lambda x: "UTF-8"
```
and it works. > I meet the same problem, and originally use

Thanks, works for me too.
