How can I update my OpenAI Python code to work with the chatGPT API on Windows?

Hello Dears,

I am new to the chatGPT API and am trying to use it in my Python program. I followed all the steps in the documentation and set up my environment (including WSL and Ubuntu), but when I run my code I encounter errors.

Here is my code:

PYTHON
key_api = 'MY API KEY'
openai.api_key = key_api

chat_completion = openai.Completion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"},
    ],
)

print(chat_completion['choices'][0]['message']['content'])

This produces the following error:

PYTHON
raise APIRemovedInV1(symbol=self._symbol)
openai.lib._old_api.APIRemovedInV1: 

You tried to access openai.Completion, but this is no longer supported in openai>=1.0.0 - see the README at https://github.com/openai/openai-python for the API.

You can run `openai migrate` to automatically upgrade your codebase to use the 1.0.0 interface. 

Alternatively, you can pin your installation to the old version, e.g. `pip install openai==0.28`

When I try to run openai migrate, I first receive this error:

BASH
Error: Windows is not supported yet in the migration CLI

Then I get this message:

BASH
usage: openai [-h] [-V] [-v] [-b API_BASE] [-k API_KEY] [-p PROXY [PROXY ...]] [-o ORGANIZATION] {api,tools,wandb} ...
openai: error: argument {api,tools,wandb}: invalid choice: 'migrate' (choose from 'api', 'tools', 'wandb')

I am really confused and need help resolving these errors. Could someone please guide me on how to update my code to use the correct API and work around the migration issues on Windows?

Below is a detailed explanation and a sample code snippet to help fix your issue.

What’s Causing the Error?

The error occurs because the call to openai.Completion.create is from an older API interface. In OpenAI Python library versions ≥1.0.0 the API for handling chat completions has changed. Instead of using openai.Completion.create, you should use openai.ChatCompletion.create.

The migration CLI that’s mentioned isn’t available on Windows yet, which is why you’re seeing errors when attempting to run openai migrate.

How to Fix Your Code

Simply update your code so that you use openai.ChatCompletion.create for chat-based interactions. Here is an updated example:

PYTHON
import openai

key_api = 'MY API KEY'
openai.api_key = key_api

chat_completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
    model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
    messages=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "Who won the world series in 2020?"},
    ],
)

print(chat_completion['choices'][0]['message']['content'])

Additional Suggestions

API Versioning:
If for some reason you prefer not to update your code right now, you can pin your OpenAI Python package to the older version (e.g., pip install openai==0.28). However, updating to the new interface is recommended for continued support and security improvements.
Documentation:
Review the OpenAI API documentation for chat completions for more details on the new interface and parameters.

With these changes, your code should run without the previous error. Let us know if you need further clarification!
