AttributeError: partially initialized module 'openai' has no attribute 'Completion' (most likely due to a circular import)

for my fellow doofuses going thru all the above suggestions and wondering why its not working:

make sure your file is NOT named openai.py. because then it will call itself, because python.

wasted 2 hours on this nonsense lol.

Oh, not only that but if you have another copy of the script that has the name of an imported module in your current dir (or path?) but invoke it under a different name, you'll still run into the same problem. – clearlight Feb 18 '23 at 05:38

I tried the openai version 0.18.1 and was able to run a sample GPT-3 code.

pip install openai==0.18.1


import openai
import config

openai.api_key = config.OPENAI_API_KEY if 'OPENAI_API_KEY' in dir(config) else ''
print(f'openai.api_key : {openai.api_key}')


def openAIQuery(query):
    response = openai.Completion.create(
      engine="davinci-instruct-beta-v3",
      prompt=query,
      temperature=0.8,
      max_tokens=200,
      top_p=1,
      frequency_penalty=0,
      presence_penalty=0)

    if 'choices' in response:
        if len(response['choices']) > 0:
            answer = response['choices'][0]['text']
        else:
            answer = 'Opps sorry, you beat the AI this time'
    else:
        answer = 'Opps sorry, you beat the AI this time'

    return answer


if __name__ == '__main__':
    if not openai.api_key:
        print(f'api_key is not set')
        exit(0)
        
    query = 'Generate a keras 3 layer neural network python code for classification'
    try:
        response = openAIQuery(query)
        print(f'Response : {response}')
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Exception : {str(e)}')

I had the same issue. My problem was that I created a virtual environment with the name openai. That name conflicts with the library. Make sure that openai is not used for a folder or virtual environment.

The problem is coming from your file name rename to opai.py instead of openai.py from example then python opai.py if not it will call itself.

This is the same solution as in [this other answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/74105084/2227743). – Eric Aya Jan 27 '23 at 15:01
