In a Python code step, I tried import google.generativeai as genai and was told there’s no module named there. ive confirmed it on pypi, google-generativeai · PyPI

2

i ran my step again, and now get a new error: Please retry your event or follow this troubleshooting guide: GitHub

3

ran it a third time, back to: No module named ‘google.generativeai’

Did you add a magic comment for that import?

5

nope

6

but… why? :slightly_smiling_face: docs seem to imply i shouldnt need to, right?

7

oh… kinda reading more closely, and i think i see it

8

In this case you’ll need to, since the import name is different from the pypi package name

Yeah so the workflow can install the necessary packages with pip

didnt click… now it does.
