AttributeError: module 'openai' has no attribute 'OpenAI' When Using 'langchain_openai'

I have a script that prompts the user to enter their OpenAI API key, validates it, and then uses the ChatOpenAI class from langchain_openai to create an agent for interacting with a pandas DataFrame. However, when I enter a valid API key and a prompt, I encounter the following error:

AttributeError: module ‘openai’ has no attribute ‘OpenAI’

Package dependencies and their versions:
openai==0.28.0
langchain==0.2.11
langchain-openai==0.1.19
langchain-community==0.2.10
langchain-experimental== 0.0.63

Here’s the relevant portion of my code:

import openai
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_experimental.agents.agent_toolkits import create_pandas_dataframe_agent

def check_openai_key(api_key):
    openai.api_key = api_key
    try:
        openai.Model.list()
        return True
    except openai.error.AuthenticationError:
        return False
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
        return False
 
openai_api_key = st.text_input("Enter your OpenAPI key",type="password",placeholder="sk-...",)
is_valid = check_openai_key(openai_api_key)
    
if openai_api_key:
    if is_valid:
        if user_prompt.strip():
            chat = ChatOpenAI(openai_api_key = openai_api_key, temperature=0.9)
            agent = create_pandas_dataframe_agent(chat, data, verbose=True, allow_dangerous_code=True)
            response = agent.invoke(user_prompt)
            # Print response["output]

        else:
            # Warning message : "⚠️ Please enter a prompt."
    else:
        # Warning message : "⚠️ Invalid OpenAI API key. Please enter a valid key."
else:
    # Warning message : "⚠️ Please enter your OpenAI API key."

Welcome @lisek75

You need to be on the latest version of the openai package to do that.

Thank you @sps

pip install --upgrade openai
==> Now I’m running with openai==1.40.3

However, I’m encountering an error: AttributeError: module 'openai' has no attribute 'error'. Because of this issue, I had to revert to version 0.28.

Can you advise me on what to do, please?
