HELP first time using pinecone, am dealing with strange import error

I’ve tried updating pinecone client, I’ve made sure i have downloaded pinecone, but for some reason it isn’t working…

MY ERROR:

python3 setup_rag.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “setup_rag.py”, line 3, in
from pinecone import Pinecone, ServerlessSpec
ImportError: cannot import name ‘Pinecone’ from ‘pinecone’ (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pinecone/init.py)

MY CODE:
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
from pinecone.grpc import PineconeGRPC as Pinecone
from pinecone import ServerlessSpec
from openai import OpenAI
import os
import json

Initialize Pinecone

pc = Pinecone(api_key=os.getenv(“PINECONE_API_KEY”))

Create a Pinecone index

pc.create_index(
name=“rag”,
dimension=1536,
metric=“cosine”,
spec=ServerlessSpec(cloud=“aws”, region=“us-east-1”),
)

Load the review data

data = json.load(open(“reviews.json”))

processed_data =
client = OpenAI()

Create embeddings for each review

for review in data[“reviews”]:
response = client.embeddings.create(
input=review[‘review’], model=“text-embedding-3-small”
)
embedding = response.data[0].embedding
processed_data.append(
{
“values”: embedding,
“id”: review[“professor”],
“metadata”:{
“review”: review[“review”],
“subject”: review[“subject”],
“stars”: review[“stars”],
}
}
)

Insert the embeddings into the Pinecone index

index = pc.Index(“rag”)
upsert_response = index.upsert(
vectors=processed_data,
namespace=“ns1”,
)
print(f"Upserted count: {upsert_response[‘upserted_count’]}")

Print index statistics

print(index.describe_index_stats())

Hi @nahotamultiverse, and welcome to the Pinecone community forums!

Thanks for your question.

Could you please confirm which version of the Pinecone client you have installed?

Best,
Zack
