Why Does Creating an AzureOpenAI Client in Python Return a 404 Error?

It looks like you might be trying to use a class (AzureOpenAI) that isn’t available in an official Python library. Currently, Microsoft's Azure OpenAI client libraries are maintained for languages such as .NET, JavaScript, Java, and Go. There isn’t an official Python client provided by the Azure team at this time.

Here are a few recommendations:

• Use a Supported Language:
  If you want to use the official Azure OpenAI libraries, consider switching to one of the supported languages (.NET, JavaScript, Java, or Go).

• Alternative Approaches in Python:
  If you need to work in Python, you might consider either:

  • Using the general OpenAI API with proper configuration (for example, setting your endpoint and API key accordingly).
  • Making direct REST calls to your Azure OpenAI service endpoint.

• Configuration Check:
  A 404 error ("Not Found") typically implies that the resource or URL you’re trying to access isn’t available. If you’re adapting code from another language or example, ensure that the endpoint URL and authentication details are set correctly for Azure OpenAI services.

If you’re looking for official support for Python in Azure OpenAI in the future, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the OpenAI documentation or Azure announcements, as any new client libraries would be documented there.
