AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'lower' when starting interpreter from master branch

[tiry]

Describe the bug

Trying to run the interpreter from the source code / main branch (the wheel version works ok)

 > interpreter
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/tiry/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/open-interpreter-qdM9pZ2G-py3.11/bin/interpreter", line 3, in <module>

 ~/dev/open-interpreter │ on main !1 ?1  [IPKernelApp] WARNING | Parent appears to have exited, shutting down.                            1 х │ 3.11.8 Py

Basically, it seems that the output is a dictionary

output = self.computer.run("python", code_to_run)

whereas the code expected a string

    if "traceback" in output.lower():

In my case, output = [{'type': 'console', 'format': 'output', 'content': ''}]

Reproduce

1. Clone the repository
2. pyenv shell 3.11.8
3. poetry install
4. source $(poetry env info --path)/bin/activate
5. python -m interpreter

Expected behavior

Display the interpreter prompt without errir

Yep, getting this error too. quick hack: output = output[0]["content"] after output = self.computer.run("python", code_to_run)

https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter/commit/e5fdc57726869e2149e6cef36b287a957a58d507 seems to be at fault

from main:

git bisect start
git bisect bad
git checkout 68ab324 # parent of e5fdc57
poetry install
poetry run interpreter
# given welcome message, prompted for open ai key...
[nix-shell:~/code/work/foss/SgtPooki/open-interpreter]$ git bisect good
# continue through git bisect, checking if `poetry run interpreter` works..
e5fdc57726869e2149e6cef36b287a957a58d507 is the first bad commit

https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter/commit/e5fdc57726869e2149e6cef36b287a957a58d507#r140139185 mentions this as well, and https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter/pull/1114 may fix it

Hey @tiry Are you able to try the fix that @SgtPooki mentioned to see if it resolves the issue?

[tiry]

Hey @MikeBirdTech, I was able to fix the code and make it run on my side, but I figured I should report so it gets fixed properly in the main branch since it looks to me like a miss alignment between 2 parts of the code.

And yes, the fix proposed by @SgtPooki is very similar to what I did to be able to run the code, so it should fix the issue.
