ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openai.openai_object'

I'm getting error while running a python script on macOS

from openai.openai_object import OpenAIObject

Maybe this one answers your question: No module named openai — Isa-Ali

My guess is that this is because of Python 3.12. It's a very recent python version and all data science libraries do not support it well yet. You should try with python 3.11. — Eskapp

@Eskapp I started with 3.7, didn't work then tried with 3.12. I'll try with 3.11. — Raymond

3.7 is too old, there was not so so much genai back then ;) I would try 3.10 (works on my machine and the Mac of coworkers) and 3.11 Actually it seems that this is the same issue here, resolved by moving to Python 3.10: community.openai.com/t/… — Eskapp

@Eskapp Thanks man it worked with 3.10. Wasted my whole day figuring it out. — Raymond

According to the discussion in the comments back in Dec 2023, the trick is to use Python 3.10.

To future SO users, while that may had worked for OP back in Dec 2023, this may have changed over time as the different libraries start to support newer version of Python.
