While trying to create OpenAI client, I get following error

module 'openai' has no attribute 'Client'

This is my code

import openai
client = openai.Client(api_key=os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'],)

Output of “pip show openai”

Hello and welcome to the forum!
The latest version of the openai library is currently at 1.X

Try updating and see if that solves your issue.

I installed to latest version of OpenAI which is “1.2.4” but that didn’t work

Try writing “client” instead of “Client” :wink:
(There’s a difference in capitalization)

Same error persist but this time with “client”.

I was able to get mine working by doing this:

import openai
import requests
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

Hopefully that might work for you too.

From what I understand this automatically uses your saved API key
