ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agents'

API

I get this error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘agents’
when I attempt to import
from agents import Agent, Runner
openai-agents has been installed and listed in requirements.txt

Which API are you calling? completion?

It is new agents SDK. But all of a sudden it started finding the module. Don’t know why. Maybe a refresh of the requirements.txt did the trick. Idk
Thank you for responding

I’m getting the same err:
python 3.12.8 - windows
openai==1.66.3
openai-agents==0.0.3

Check the name or the directory that you’re using to define your project.

If you name it agents.py or agents you will precede the import from Python site-packages.

It’s also possible that you have an interpreter mismatch, which can happen if you’ve set up a virtual environment (venv)

  1. Make sure that the venv is activated

. .venv/bin/activate 2>/dev/null || source .venv/bin/activate

  1. Check the Python version inside the venv

python -V # e.g. Python 3.12.10

  1. Deactivate the venv and check global Python
    deactivate
  2. Compare the versions
  • if they match, your interpreter is fine.
  • if they differ, update your IDE setting:
    • In Cursor/VS Code:
      • Press ⌘⇧P
      • Scroll down and select “Python: Interpreter”
      • Choose the one pointing to your venv .venv/bin/python
