Hi @Nikhil_Priyadarsh thank you for reporting this.

I made a bug report for the team, and we were able to track down the issue and fix it. The newest version of the `roboflow` package (`0.2.14`) will work without issue.

Here is sample code to get it installed, and export your dataset:

```auto
pip install -U roboflow

from roboflow import Roboflow
rf = Roboflow(api_key="PRIVATE_API_KEY")
project = rf.workspace("WORKSPACE_ID").project("PROJECT_ID")
dataset = project.version(1).download("multiclass")

```
