Describe your issue.

During my prompt (write a rap song about coding in the style of Eminem), agent wrote some python codes (not sure why), but is unable to run/execute the file. Leads to a loop and then an error parsing json

AutoGPT runs Python scripts within a container. To use AutoGPT, you have two options: either install Docker (which allows AutoGPT to initiate a temporary container for script execution) or directly run AutoGPT inside a container. I prefer starting run.sh in an existing container that already has Python and common packages installed. This also helps to save the execution time.

I have docker Installed not sure what the issue is

I am touching the exact same part of the code, I am not sure we are talking about the same issue but myself I got the logs

Image 'python:3-alpine' found locally 
SYSTEM: Command execute_python_code returned: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/workspace/FSGPT/executed_code/fibonacci.py", line 1, in <module> import openpyxl ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openpyxl'

First line Auto-GPT runs in a container python:3-alpine no worries about that. But then in the python code there is a line import openpyxl but this module needs to be installed and is not in python:3-alpine default docker image...

I have been trying to make a conversation on Discord https://discord.com/channels/1092243196446249134/1092266131110236170/1123560112989163540

Auto-GPT isn't able to install python modules in the docker container they need to be used. Whatever how you run Auto-GPT with docker or with python straight.

For me there are 2 alternatives:

• We could ask to GPT to make a Dockerfile ready to go and the requirements.txt,
• Otherwise we need to compute one in Auto-GPT with a regex.

I have been trying to make a regex to find all the import in a file https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/pull/4847/files#diff-3a17cf79b7ab8e6b1ea66d34144971f6bb366c5638a666af493889d91f4cac5aR103

regex_imports = re.findall(r"import (.*(?=\n))", code)

It's kind of working...

You might be onto another problem here, that seems to arise when executing python files from AutoGPT outside of docker and needing to install requirements. I was executing with both docker compose and devcontainer, and I was experience the same issue. In my case the problem was that AutoGPT didn't realize that it was in a container and tried to start a new one for the code execution.
