import openai | challenges

Hello World,

I am facing some challenges running OpenAI on Databricks using Azure. I can easily pip install openai.

However, problems start once I run the python line: import openai. After that, I can a series of errors and never ending error messages.

Let me know if you have come across this problem and have been able to solve for it. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Carl_B , Good Day!
I understand that you are trying to import the OpenAI client but that fails. However, can you please try installing as specified below and let us know how it goes?

!pip install --upgrade openai

dbutils.library.restartPython()

If the issue persists, please share the DBR version and error that you are encountering to review it.
