The issue you’re encountering occurs because you’re trying to run Python code directly in your terminal shell (bash), not in a Python interpreter or script.

A second issue is that you are being georouted to an archive location in Shenyang, China, likely indicating your own location.

China is not a [supported country](https://platform.openai.com/docs/supported-countries) for the OpenAI API, and in fact, requests from the country may either be blocked or result in an account organization being terminated.

I’m not in China. India.
