ImportError: cannot import name 'ComputerCallOutput' from 'openai.types.responses'
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
While using the openai-python SDK, I attempted to import the ComputerCallOutput data structure from openai.types.responses, but encountered the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/gooner/Workbench/repo/github.com/browser-use/browser-use/apiserver.py", line 47, in <module>
from openai.types.responses import ComputerCallOutput
ImportError: cannot import name 'ComputerCallOutput' from 'openai.types.responses' (/Users/gooner/Workbench/repo/github.com/browser-use/browser-use/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/openai/types/responses/__init__.py)
It seems that ComputerCallOutput is not available in the openai.types.responses module, possibly due to a mismatch between the documentation and the codebase, or the data structure not being properly exposed.
To Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce
- Install the openai-python SDK (e.g., via pip install openai).
- Create a Python script with the following code:
from openai.types.responses import ComputerCallOutput- Run the script and observe the error.

Hi,
I've noticed that there are two instances of ComputerCallOutput in our codebase—one in src/openai/types/responses/response_input_item_param.py and the other in src/openai/types/responses/response_input_param.py. Since both definitions are identical, I've consolidated them by importing the one from response_input_param.py in our __init__.py file as follows:
from .response_input_param import ComputerCallOutput as ComputerCallOutput
I've created a PR with this change. (#2248)
Could you also clarify which documentation you were referring to? For now, you can import ComputerCallOutput directly using:
from openai.types.responses.response_input_param import ComputerCallOutput
Thanks for your feedback!
I did not report any errors in this way
from openai.types.responses.response_input_param import ComputerCallOutput
Thanks
