Error:Unable to import module 'lambda_function': No module named 'openai'"

Question

I created a lambda function calling openai gpt mode. I added an openai layer to the function. In creating the zip file for the layer, I created a virtual environment first, installed the openai 0.27.0 version, and then zipped all content under the site_packages folder. After creating a layer using the zip file, the function test gave me the error message in the title. Not sure where I did wrong. Appreciate your insights in advance!

Below lists the details of the lambda function:

run time: python 3.11 partial snippet of the lambda function: import json import os import boto3 from openai import OpenAI

client=OpenAI()

Below lists the details of the lambda function:

**run time**: python 3.11
**partial snippet of the lambda function:**
import json
import os
import boto3
from openai import OpenAI

client=OpenAI()

Terrific! I was able to get rid of the import error. You rock, Abhishek !

I still couldn't execute the function, though. I got another error message: can't imprt name 'OpenAI' from 'openai' (/opt/python/openai/__init__.py)". Any advice on how I could fix this issue would be great, Abhishek!

I'd suggest you to follow this process and comment here, how it goes for you:

1. Create openai layer by following this re:Post Knowledge Center Article [How can I create a layer for my Lambda Python function?](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/lambda-python-function-layer). Payload for the lambda function to create openai layer would be as below:

{
                "dependencies": {
                  "openai": "== 0.27.0"
                },
                "layer": {
                  "name": "openai-lambda-layer",
                  "description": "this layer contains requests, operations libraries",
                  "compatible-runtimes": [
                    "python3.11"
                  ],
                  "license-info": "MIT"
                }
              }

2. With the above payload, run the lambda function, which would create layer.

3. Now layer is created and you can use it in your own lambda function, where you wanted to use openai module. Just go to your lambda function -> code -> Scroll down -> Add a layer -> Add newly created openai layer

4. Once you add the layer, you can use this module in your lambda function code as I did below(no error reporting that openai module not found):

Answer

I did some exploration, and found that if I didn't import OpenAI from openai, the function was fine. Guess it might be an issue between openai and python. I will keep investigating. However, if you have any suggestions, I am all ears.

Answer

It worked, Abhishek! Appreciate your prompt advice!
