hf_transfer not working from python library for upload

[bartowski1182]

System Info

When using HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER, I still see my python huggingface_hub uploading as LFS file

Reproduction

import os

os.environ["HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER"] = "1" from huggingface_hub import HfApi, logging

api.upload_file(/information here/)

In the logs I see: Uploading 1 LFS file to the Hub

which from looking at the code indicates that it's not using hf_transfer

Expected behavior

Uploading 1 LFS files to the Hub using hf_transfer.
