Here is my script I am testing

import json
import os
from openai import OpenAI

api_key = "sk-xxxx"
client = OpenAI(api_key=api_key)

def lambda_handler(event, context):
    # Initialize OpenAI client
    client = OpenAI(api_key=os.environ.get("OPENAI_API_KEY"))

    # Parse the input data from the event
    try:
        body = json.loads(event['body'])
        user_text = body['text']
        user_action = body['action']
    except KeyError as e:
        return {
            'statusCode': 400,
            'body': json.dumps({'error': f'Missing key: {str(e)}'})
        }
    except json.JSONDecodeError:
        return {
            'statusCode': 400,
            'body': json.dumps({'error': 'Invalid JSON format'})
        }

    # Process the text
    response_text = process_text_with_openai(client, user_text, user_action)

    # Return the response
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': json.dumps({'response': response_text})
    }

def process_text_with_openai(client, user_text, user_action):
    if user_action == 'spell_check':
        prompt = f"Correct the spelling and grammar: {user_text}"
    elif user_action == 'simplify_for_child':
        prompt = f"Explain to a 5-year-old: {user_text}"
    elif user_action == 'translate_to_spanish':
        prompt = f"Translate this to Spanish: {user_text}"
    else:
        return "Invalid action selected."

    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}],
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo"  # Change model as needed
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content



user_input = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
selected_action = "translate_to_spanish"

response_text = process_text_with_openai(client, user_input, selected_action)
print(response_text)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

having the same issue, i’m using the layer for 3.9 from GitHub

Are you on the latest OpenAI library version?

Try this to update the packages.

pip install --upgrade openai

i have built my own OpenAI layer which works in AWS Lambda Layer:
from openai import OpenAI

you can download it from here.

This worked for me! Could you please share how you created your lambda layer zip file?

I kept getting “No module named ‘pydantic_core._pydantic_core’” and tried resolving by installing in a linux environment and copying the files over which did not work.

i had the same error also, its was due to the fact thati used windows to build the layer, once i switched to linux it was flawless; the full pip command i use is:

pip install openai -t . --only-binary=:all: --upgrade --platform manylinux2014_x86_64

thank you m8 that helped a lot

I just used an ec2 instance conncted to an teamspeak server to get the ziped layer from the fileexplorer of the teamspeak to download on my windows machine and include in terraform.

layers over layers, going mad…
