When I install via pip install openai, I encounter can't find Rust compiler. Since rust does not support the android host temporarily, is there an alternative solution?

            If you are using an outdated pip version, it is possible a prebuilt wheel is available for this package but pip is not able to install from it. Installing from the wheel would avoid the need for a Rust compiler.

            To update pip, run:

                pip install --upgrade pip

            and then retry package installation.

            If you did intend to build this package from source, try installing a Rust compiler from your system package manager and ensure it is on the PATH during installation. Alternatively, rustup (available at https://rustup.rs) is the recommended way to download and update the Rust compiler toolchain.

Hey @leemeng0x61, thanks for the report. Unfortunately there isn't anything we can do to help here, jiter is a required dependency and making it optional would be a breaking change.

If you're not planning on using the streaming helpers, you may be able to get pip to ignore the dependency error somehow and add a stub file like this to your python path so that our runtime imports of jiter will work

# jiter.py
def from_json(*args, **kwargs):
  raise NotImplementedError("jiter is not available")
