Hi,

I want to use multi-label image classification as described [here](https://prodi.gy/docs/computer-vision#classification-multi) in your docs.  
However, when I use:

> prodigy classify-images sunglasses\_brands ./images -F recipe.py

I get the following error:

> Traceback (most recent call last):  
> File "/usr/lib/python3.10/runpy.py", line 196, in \_run\_module\_as\_main

Could you please help with the same?

Thanks,  
Akshay.

Hi @Akshay,

I must admit there's en error in the example code which results in the naming conflict between the custom and the built-in `get_stream` function.

I have already edited the example in the docs, but here it is as well:

```python
import prodigy
from prodigy.components.stream import get_stream as prodigy_get_stream

OPTIONS = [
    {"id": 0, "text": "Ray Ban Wayfarer (Original)"},
    {"id": 1, "text": "Ray Ban Wayfarer (New)"},
    {"id": 2, "text": "Ray Ban Clubmaster (Classic)"},
    {"id": 3, "text": "Ray Ban Aviator (Classic)"},
    {"id": -1, "text": "Other model"}
]

@prodigy.recipe("classify-images")
def classify_images(dataset, source):
    def get_stream():
        # Load the directory of images and add options to each task
        stream = prodigy_get_stream(source)
        for eg in stream:
            eg["options"] = OPTIONS
            yield eg

    return {
        "dataset": dataset,
        "stream": get_stream(),
        "view_id": "choice",
        "config": {
            "choice_style": "single", # or "multiple"
            # Automatically accept and submit the answer if an option is
            # selected (only available for single-choice tasks)
            "choice_auto_accept": True
        }
    }

```

As you can see I renamed the built-in `get_stream` function in the import statement to avoid naming conflict in the recipe script.  
Apologies for that and many thanks for the heads-up that helped us to improve the docs!

Oh, I should have spotted that.  
Thank you for the resolution.
