How do I resolve the AttributeError for openai.ChatCompletion in my OpenAI API code?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm trying to use the ChatCompletion endpoint with the OpenAI API but encountering an error. My current code is:

PYTHON
cmpletion = openai.ChatCompletion.create ( model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell the world about the ChatGPT API in the style of a pirate."}] )

I get the following error:

AttributeError: module ‘openai’ has no attribute ‘ChatCompletion’

Is my API or library outdated, or is there another issue? I've seen suggestions to update the library, so I'm wondering if that might resolve this problem.

This error typically indicates that you're using an older version of the OpenAI Python library that doesn't include the ChatCompletion attribute. The Chat Completions API is part of our latest updates, so please update your library to access these features.

You can update the library using pip:

PYTHON
pip install --upgrade openai

After upgrading, your code should work as expected:

PYTHON
completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Tell the world about the ChatGPT API in the style of a pirate."}
    ]
)
print(completion.choices[0].message)

Remember that the API itself is current—the issue is with the version of the library you are using.
