Code

from subsai import SubsAI

def createsrt(path,name):
    file = f'./{path}/{name}.mp4'
    subs_ai = SubsAI()
    model = subs_ai.create_model('openai/whisper', {'model_type': 'base'})
    subs = subs_ai.transcribe(file, model)
    subs.save('test1.srt')

createsrt("mp4","input")

I am on MacOS Monterey, M2 Silicon using VSC, on latest release, have ffmpeg and setuptools-rust. Using Python 3.10.4, tried as well with 3.9.6

I'm unsure what to do here as I've never ran into a circular import error, but I just copied the code and replaced the path variable with my own. I've attempted to use it as a script/outside of the function but I am getting the same error.

Also, is this usable with mp3 files as well? Assuming that would be faster.

@davidliaos,

• I think the problem is your script filename is the same as an installed Python package (I guess in this case it is the srt package). Please try with a different script filename!

• All media files should work basically, so yes mp3 as well.

Thank you so much!
