I have been facing this error, can anybody help me with this, It looks like the code is trying to use the openai.error.Timeout attribute, but as mentioned earlier, the openai module has no such attribute in the version you're using. To resolve this is

If you are using the new client method myclient = OpenAI(), for handling errors, you still need to “import openai” to handle an error type “openai.error.Timeout”.

The code you have there is not adapted to the latest openai library.

You’ll need to pip install openai=0.28.1 to get the previous version.

Langchain will also need a pinned version before adaptations after November 6.

Warning: if you don’t know what you’re doing here, don’t set GPT-4 loose in langchain - that’s a surefire way to empty you account balance.
