Can't import T5 module in Colab

[yhong4]

Hi team,
I'm trying to install t5 in colab with pip3

!pip3 install t5
!pip3 install tensorflow

But when I import

import t5

I got importError

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

Any solution to it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I solved the issue by installing an older version of tensorflow-text.
Try !pip install -q tensorflow-text==2.8.0rc0

@ferrava Thanks. It works like a charm.
