Error installing Openai - aiohttps error on python 3.12

API
1

Hey everyone,

I seem to be getting an error when trying to install openai library in python. please see the terminal log below. I have tried cache purges and then doing manual aiohttp version installs for versions 3.8.1 through 3.8.6, but to no avail. I see in this log there is something about deprecated cython, so I am wondering if I need to do something else. I am using python 3.12

LOG

pip install --upgrade openai

I’d try to do a very exhaustive “uninstall” and then reinstall everything from scratch at the latest version, because with all those deprecation warnings I’d bet it’s a version incompatibility somewhere.

3

thank you for your response. When you say “Uninstall” are you refering to my python instance or certain libraries. I ask because I technically don’t have the openAI installed at this point.

4

I’m not enough of a python expert (I’m mainly a Java guy) to know how/where it caches libraries, etc. But you can google (or ask ChatGPT) how to be sure you’ve uninstalled all the libs. I know enough to at least mention “Conda”. A lot of people use conda to manage Python an it’s libs. It might be a good way to go.

5

Do you have any reason to be using 3.12? Unless you are developing libraries for it, no.

3.8-3.10

6

that did it. Just changed the interpreter to a version of 3.10 and the issue was resolved. Thank you.

7

try to install python 11.6 you can install openai without any ploblem

8

Same case, new venv with 3.10 fixes it. Curious though - 3.12 is a month old now.

9

For Python 3.12
