Repeated Error: openai.Completion Not Supported in OpenAI Python >=1.0.0 Despite Multiple Fix Attempts (Python Versions and API Key Methods)
Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API
- [X] This is an issue with the Python library
Describe the bug
I am encountering a recurring error when trying to access openai.Completion. The error message suggests that this is no longer supported in versions of the OpenAI Python library greater than 1.0.0. Despite following the official migration guide and pinning to earlier versions (e.g., openai==0.28), the issue remains unresolved. I have tried various solutions such as:
Downgrading Python from 3.12 to 3.10, and even 3.9 Adjusting API key access methods (environment variables, hardcoding, etc.) Attempting multiple different virtual environments Following the migration instructions from the OpenAI repository and discussions, such as using openai migrate. No matter what I try, I keep encountering the following error:
vbnet Copy code You tried to access openai.Completion, but this is no longer supported in openai>=1.0.0 - see the README at https://github.com/openai/openai-python for the API.
You can run openai migrate to automatically upgrade your codebase to use the 1.0.0 interface.
Alternatively, you can pin your installation to the old version, e.g. pip install openai==0.28
Despite using the suggested approach to pin the version (pip install openai==0.28), the issue remains unresolved. Additionally, following the migration guide (https://github.com/openai/openai-python/discussions/742) didn't yield any success.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Set up a Python virtual environment with Python 3.10.
- Install openai using pip install openai==0.27.0 or any version before 1.0.0.
- Attempt to use openai.Completion.create() in any script.
- The above error consistently occurs.

Code snippets
Here’s the code I used to trigger the error:
python
Copy code
import openai
openai.api_key = 'sk-xxxxxxx'
response = openai.Completion.create(
engine="davinci",
prompt="Tell me a joke.",
max_tokens=50
)
print(response.choices[0].text)
Error output:
vbnet
Copy code
You tried to access openai.Completion, but this is no longer supported in openai>=1.0.0 - see the README at https://github.com/openai/openai-python for the API.
You can run `openai migrate` to automatically upgrade your codebase to use the 1.0.0 interface.
Alternatively, you can pin your installation to the old version, e.g. `pip install openai==0.28`
What I Tried:
Downgrading the Python version from 3.12 to 3.10.
Using different versions of the OpenAI library (0.27.0, 0.28.0, and 0.29.0).
Setting API keys via environment variables and directly in the code.
Trying the migration tool (openai migrate) but to no avail.
Ensuring all dependencies (like google-api-python-client and pdfplumber) are up to date and properly installed.
OS

Python version
Python 3.10.15 (also tried Python 3.12.5)
