I keep getting the same error when installing openai

API
1

python version = 3.9
pip version = 22.3.1

I am trying to pip install to use openai, but the following error continuously occurs.

To solve it, I entered ‘chcp 65001’ in the anaconda powershell prompt window and proceeded, and I checked all the environment variables, but the same error still occurs.

Is there anyone who has had the same problem as me and has a solution?

Well, that’s a very specific error.

Uninstall Python with pip, anaconda and everything, restart your computer and start clean.

Make sure to install 3.11 or newer.

Hi,
I have the same problem as yours.
I soved it by change the locale.getpreferredencoding() setting and then rebooted.
Control panel → Clock and Region → Region → Administrative → Change system locale → Check Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8

I had this issue as well, but on a bare bones Ubuntu Server VM. Hopefully the solution is the same.

What ultimately worked was declaring the pip version when installing. So pip3.10 install openai did it for me. There was nothing online when I first had this problem, so I wrote it out here: Python Error When Istalling OpenAI.
