Hello,
I have a small issue, I would like to ask someone for a help.
I wrote a loading script for my local dataset, which is not on hugging face, but is in my local folder in .conll format.
When I want to load my dataset, it throws a ModuleNotFoundError, which is obvious, since it tries to load my dataset as a module
I try to load the dataset with load\_dataset
```auto
dataset = load_dataset("CNEC/cnec2.0_extended", trust_remote_code=True)
```
and it throws
```auto
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'datasets_modules.datasets.cnec2'
```
do I have to first upload the dataset to the hugging face, or am I doing something wrong?

The issue was, that the hugging face load\_dataset does not like the dot ‘.’ in the name of the file, I changed the name to one without a dot and the dataset was loaded.

Yeah the **dot** was definitely the issue. It is not good naming convention to put periods in names. These normally indicate the start of the file extension.
