Problem importing langchain

Using Streamlit
1

With all of the cool LLM things happening, I have wanted to give it a try, but I am having some issues with implementing this. Even on basic “import langchain”, I get the following error (mac M1):

I’ve done a lot of internet searching, but no luck in solving this. Any ideas from this group?

The error message you’re seeing is related to the Pydantic library, which Langchain uses. I suggest trying to install a specific version of Pydantic that might be compatible with Langchain. You can try installing an older version of Pydantic to see if that resolves the issue. (Make sure to uninstall the current version first)

For instance, you could downgrade the current version to this:

pip install pydantic==1.8

Thanks for the help! I had messed with pydantic versions with no luck, but then I tried also downgrading pydantic-core, and it worked. If it helps anyone else, this is the combination that finally worked for me:

pydantic==1.8
pydantic_core==2.0.0

Thanks again!

Spoke too soon… The above versions got the interface up and running, but when I actually tried to used the chatbot, I got this error:

Back to troubleshooting…

Did you end up solving this?

5

Did you end up solving this a few of my apps are not able to run and its really concerning to me the lack of documentation!

6

Unfortunately, no. I have tried many (many!) approaches found in various forums, but I have not been able to solve it. My only guess is some conflict between my Python and various libraries, or possibly the M1 hardware, but I don’t know.

Hi I was having similar issue.
I did this import and worked:

from langchain.output_parsers import PydanticOutputParser

I found at the documentation: (Pydantic parser | 🦜️🔗 LangChain)
