I've been working with the embeddings api for a week or so without any issue. Now suddenly my python scripts are failing to run after a VS code update. I think my python environments got messed up somehow, but I only every use one (just with conda activate) and I still only have one conda environment.

I try importing with

from openai.embeddings_utils import cosine_similarity

But get

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openai.embeddings_utils'; 'openai' is not a package

I have tried rerunning python -m pip install openai and python -m pip install openai[embeddings], but everything is already satisfied, as I'd expect. I then run my code with python script.py. This is all in the same terminal session. Nothing online I have found has helped.

I ended up just copying the method out of the code (https://github.com/openai/openai-python/blob/main/openai/embeddings_utils.py) and sticking it at the top of my script and that worked. Still unsure way it didn't work.

I solved my issue. I had a empty openai.py file in the same directory which was overwritting the normal package.
