Code Agent Policy

The Transformers repo is currently being overwhelmed by a large number of PRs and issue comments written by code agents. We are currently bottlenecked by our ability to review and respond to them. As a result, we ask that new users do not submit pure code agent PRs at this time. You may use code agents in drafting or to help you diagnose issues. We'd also ask autonomous "OpenClaw"-like agents not to open any PRs or issues for the moment.

PRs that appear to be fully agent-written will probably be closed without review, and we may block users who do this repeatedly or maliciously.

This is a rapidly-evolving situation that's causing significant shockwaves in the open-source community. As a result, this policy is likely to be updated regularly in the near future. For more information, please read CONTRIBUTING.md.

  • I confirm that this is not a pure code agent PR.

System Info

I was getting the following error when running the latest version of main

ImportError: cannot import name 'PILImageResampling' from 'transformers.image_utils' (/Users/josh/Documents/sandbox/.hugging/lib/python3.12/site-packages/transformers/image_utils.py)

I found where it's being imported in src/transformers/video_processing_utils.py and it looks like this package isn't being used in video_processing_utils.py nor is it defined in image_utils.py

commenting out the import in video_processing_utils fixed the issue

Who can help?

Information

  • The official example scripts
  • My own modified scripts

Tasks

  • An officially supported task in the examples folder (such as GLUE/SQuAD, ...)
  • My own task or dataset (give details below)

Reproduction

  1. install tranformers from source uv pip install '.[torch]'
  2. run transformers serve
  3. run chat cli transformers chat Qwen/Qwen3-4B

you'll get the error ImportError: cannot import name 'PILImageResampling' from 'transformers.image_utils'

Expected behavior

  1. install tranformers from source uv pip install '.[torch]'
  2. run transformers serve
  3. run chat cli transformers chat Qwen/Qwen3-4B

the chat runs as expected

Fix Plan

The fix involves removing the unnecessary import statement in video_processing_utils.py.

  • Remove the line from transformers.image_utils import PILImageResampling from src/transformers/video_processing_utils.py
  • If PILImageResampling is used elsewhere in the code, replace it with the correct import statement: from PIL import Image
  • Example:
# Before
from transformers.image_utils import PILImageResampling

# After
from PIL import Image

Alternatively, you can also import ImageResampling directly from PIL:

from PIL import Image
resampling_filter = Image.Resampling.LANCZOS

Verification

To verify the fix, follow the reproduction steps:

  1. Install transformers from source using pip install '.[torch]'
  2. Run transformers serve
  3. Run the chat CLI using transformers chat Qwen/Qwen3-4B

The chat should run as expected without any import errors.

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to update the import statements accordingly if PILImageResampling is used elsewhere in the code.
  • If you're using an older version of the transformers library, consider updating to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the PIL library.
