The pinecone python package doesn't seem to work

I’ve pip installed it,

pip show pinecone
Name: pinecone
Version: 5.3.1

However, when I try this:

from pinecone import Pinecone, I get the error that “Pinecone” is an unknown import symbol.

The pinecone import only seems to have control, core_ea, utils, and data.

If I pip install pinecone-client, it works. But that seems outdated and lacks support for the assistant plugin.

Please help.
