  2. import openai
    import os
    from dotenv import load_dotenv,find_dotenv
    _ = load_dotenv(find_dotenv()) # read local .env file
    openai.api_key = os.getenv(‘OPEN_API_KEY’)
    model=“gpt-3.5-turbo”

after run , i got below:

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[6], line 3
1 import openai
2 import os

Hi @golear,

‘dotenv’ package is not installed in your system. Please run the command given below in a Jupyter cell to install it …

!pip3 install dotenv

or

!pip3 install python-dotenv

I’m not certain which command will work, so please try running both and make sure to restart the kernel.

Regards,
Mujassim

Run on your system : python -m pip3 install python-dotenv
create also a .env in your current directory a line : OPEN_API_KEY=‘your key’
If run directly in a jupyter cell, type first an exclamation mark : !pip3 install python-dotenv

THIS WORKS. BUT still
in lesson 2: iterative, i do the env setup, hit the run ,then got :

122 self,
123 key=None,

127 organization=None,
128 ):
129 self.api_base = api_base or openai.api_base
→ 130 self.api_key = key or util.default_api_key()
131 self.api_type = (
132 ApiType.from_str(api_type)
133 if api_type
134 else ApiType.from_str(openai.api_type)
135 )
136 self.api_version = api_version or openai.api_version

File ~\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\openai\util.py:186, in default_api_key()
184 return openai.api_key

by the way, i 've added dotenv in

thanks for the help, and what’s the meaning of “exclamation mark” here? !pip3 install python-dotenv

You need to set up your OpenAI account API key to be able to work. You can set the API key by running the command in Jupyter, as shown in the error message, for example: openai.api_key=your_api_key . If the problem persists, you can refer to OpenAI’s documentation.

It is used to indicate that the command following it should be treated as a shell command, rather than a piece of Python code.

Also, once you have your open ai key, you can just use it as a string literal…no need to set the environment variable, and then no requirement for installing or importing os or dotenv packages. You will, however, need to install redline and panel for later exercises. HTH
