Describe the bug

I yesterday freshly install Python, and now i want to install openai. The installation always fails at building the wheel for aiohttp. Im not a big programmer, so i dont know what is wrong here (I did remove my user name for this post)

To Reproduce

  1. Install Python (newest version)
  2. Install openai

Expected: Succesfully Installing openai

Code snippets

    This is happening because aiohttp doesn't support Python 3.12 yet. Support is currently in a beta version: aio-libs/aiohttp#7675.

    I'd recommend using Python 3.11 as 3.12 was only recently released and there almost definitely will be other libraries that don't support it yet as well.

    This is "fixed" in our v1 beta as we've moved away from aiohttp to httpx which is a pure python library and while they don't advertise 3.12 support yet, it is much more likely to work out of the box.

    @usmantariq1240 yes that would work, your options are

    • install a beta version of aiohttp
    • downgrade python to 3.11 or lower
    • switch to the v1 beta of the openai SDK

    This depends entirely on your setup and unfortunately there are many different ways of configuring Python. Do you know how python is setup on your system?

    A side note, I'd personally recommend using Rye as it manages python versions for you and changing versions is as simple as

    rye pin cpython@3.11

    Hi, How do I downgrade to Python 3.11 from 3.12 on a Mac?

    Downgrading your default python installation can often cause unexpected results. I would install python 3.11 separately and use it to create a virtual environment specific to your openai project.

    Probleb solved!!!

    I have unistall 3.12.0 version of python and install 3.11.0

    Click here to install 3.11.0

    This solved my problem and able to install openai now.
