I'm attempting to use LangChain within an OCI Python Function, but I encounter a runtime error when importing any LangChain module. The error occurs even if I import modules individually and the code works perfectly in my local environment using Python 3.11.
Here is the error output during function invocation:
BASH"01JJKPZFJS1BT0C20ZJ0011W8X - fn - ERROR - 'NoneType' object is not callable: File "/python/fdk/runner.py", line 74, in handle_request response_data = await with_deadline(ctx, handler_code, body) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/python/fdk/runner.py", line 54, in with_deadline raise ex File "/python/fdk/runner.py", line 47, in with_deadline handle_func = handler_code.handler() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/python/fdk/customer_code.py", line 94, in handler mod = self._delayed_module_class.get_module() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/python/fdk/customer_code.py", line 59, in get_module .load_module() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 605, in _check_name_wrapper File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 1121, in load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 945, in load_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 290, in _load_module_shim File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 721, in _load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 690, in _load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap_external>", line 940, in exec_module File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 241, in _call_with_frames_removed File "/function/func.py", line 6, in <module> from langchain_community.chat_models.oci_generative_ai import ChatOCIGenAI File "/python/langchain_community/chat_models/oci_generative_ai.py", line 18, in <module> from langchain_core.callbacks import CallbackManagerForLLMRun File "/python/langchain_core/callbacks/__init__.py", line 23, in <module> from langchain_core.callbacks.manager import ( File "/python/langchain_core/callbacks/manager.py", line 23, in <module> from langsmith.run_helpers import get_tracing_context File "/python/langsmith/run_helpers.py", line 56, in <module> _PARENT_RUN_TREE = contextvars.ContextVar[Optional[run_trees.RunTree]]( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "
The LangChain modules I am trying to import include:
PYTHONfrom langchain_community.chat_models.oci_generative_ai import ChatOCIGenAI from langchain_community.utilities import SQLDatabase from langchain_experimental.sql import SQLDatabaseSequentialChain from langchain.prompts.prompt import PromptTemplate
These imports produce the error regardless of whether the imported modules are used later or not. I have verified the following in my environment:
PLAINTEXTfdk>=0.1.86 oci oracledb langchain-community==0.3.15 langchain-experimental==0.3.4 langchain==0.3.15 sqlalchemy
I've also tested earlier versions of LangChain and different Python OCI Function runtimes (Python 3.8 and 3.9) with the same issue. Removing these imports lets the function work as expected.
I'm at a loss for what could be interfering with these imports. Any insights or workarounds to resolve this compatibility problem in the OCI Function environment would be greatly appreciated.

Below is a summary of what you might try to resolve the issue.
The error
'NoneType' object is not callable: contextvars.ContextVar…
appears as soon as any LangChain (and its dependencies like langsmith) modules are imported. In this case the OCI Functions runtime is behaving differently from your local environment—even though you’re using the same language version (Python 3.11) and pinned dependencies. The stack trace shows that the problem occurs when langsmith’s helper code calls the generic form of ContextVar, which should normally be callable.
Lazy Imports
Delay importing LangChain (and therefore langsmith) until after the OCI Function handler starts running. For example:
PYTHONdef handler(ctx, data: bytes = None): from langchain_community.chat_models.oci_generative_ai import ChatOCIGenAI from langchain_community.utilities import SQLDatabase # ... rest of your code ... return {"message": "Success"}
This ensures that the OCI Functions environment has completed its own bootstrapping before LangChain code is loaded.
Check for Conflicts
Ensure that none of your own modules or files accidentally shadow standard library modules (for example, a local file named contextvars.py) or any dependencies used by LangChain.
Disable Optional Tracing
If you aren’t using LangSmith’s tracing and it’s not required for your function, look for an environment variable (or configuration option) that disables tracing. Some dependencies provide a way to disable initialization of extra globals. For example, you could try setting an environment variable before your function runs (check the LangChain docs if one exists for disabling tracing).
Review Your OCI Function Packaging
Double-check that all required dependencies (including oracledb, langchain-community, langchain-experimental, and langchain) are being deployed properly with your function. The prerequisites for Oracle integrations (such as having the Oracle Python Client driver installed) must be met. Already you have in your requirements.txt:
PLAINTEXTfdk>=0.1.86 oci oracledb langchain-community==0.3.15 langchain-experimental==0.3.4 langchain==0.3.15 sqlalchemy
Confirm that none of the OCI Functions’ internal packages or configurations override these virtual environments.
If after these steps the issue persists, it may be worth filing an issue on the respective LangChain or Oracle Functions repositories as it might be an incompatibility between the runtime environment and some of LangChain’s dependencies.
By focusing on these suggestions you can work around the module initialization error you’re seeing in the OCI Functions environment.
