import import tensorflow_docs error on Colab

Question

I've been using colab for deep learning for a over a month and all of a sudden import tensorflow_docs as tfdocs stopped working. Is anyone encountering the same issues???

I'm running tf.version 2.8.2

> !pip install git+https://github.com/tensorflow/docs
> 
> import tensorflow_docs as tfdocs   
> import tensorflow_docs.modeling   
> import tensorflow_docs.plots

Error:

UPDATE 01-Sep-2022

I updated python in colab to 3.9.1 using @Kor suggestion and confirmed it. Then ran:

> !pip install git+https://github.com/tensorflow/docs
> 
> import tensorflow_docs as tfdocs 

The tensorflow doc completed installation but still threw an error on import:

ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

          3 import tensorflow_docs.plots
          4 
          5 print("Version: ", tf.__version__)

    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow_docs'

You can try this:

!pip install -q git+https://github.com/MJAHMADEE/docs
import tensorflow_docs as tfdocs   
import tensorflow_docs.modeling   
import tensorflow_docs.plots
