Description of the bug:

python : 3.11.5
jupyter_server : 2.10.0

While running this python file in my local jupyter server, this error occurred.

import google.generativeai as genai
import os

genai.configure(api_key=os.environ["API_KEY"])

Below is the full error.

I installed google-gnerativeai via pip install google-generativeai and also ran pip install -q -U google-generativeai on my terminal.

It seems to work fine on google colab(python ver 3.10), but I don't know what's the problem here. The documents says it supports python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 pypi google-ai-generativelanguage docs

Actual vs expected behavior:

expected: It should work fine. actual : circular import error

Any other information you'd like to share?

I tried python 3.10 locally, but still same circular import error. I also made new conda environment with no additional libraries installed, but still this error occurred.

No response

which version? can you show more details: the minimal reproduce code snippet

MarkDaoust commented 1 month ago

I've seen this, but don't have steps to reproduce it.

I think this had something to do with the namespace package configuration: https://github.com/google-gemini/generative-ai-python/commit/b28f2d1395d888fe149a031afbec359e1b523f8e

Does this still happen for anyone, with newer versions?

eminucer commented 1 month ago

I had the exact same issue today. I was trying to run the code on a .ipynb file. What worked for me was to restart the Jupyter kernel. I guess I was getting this error after installing some packages (like grpcio) required by google-generativeai, and restarting the kernel somehow fixed the issue. Hope this can help others as well. (Python 3.12.3)
