[Bug]: No module named 'fastembed'

[giacomobartoli]

What happened?

It seems pretty oblivious, but it's not actually.

Using python 3.9 with virtual environment. Requirements txt contains fastembed. Code is pretty simple:

from fastembed import FastEmbed

def embed_search(text: str):
    model = FastEmbed(model="jinaai/jina-embeddings-v2-base-de")
    embeddings = model.embed(text)
    return embeddings

pip install -r requirements.txt --> OK

when I run the file I got:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastembed'

I am using a virtual environment:

python3.9 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

I already tried to re-run pip install fastembed

Package is installed correctly:

pip show fastembed

Hi @giacomobartoli

there is no FastEmbed class in fastembed, could you point us to the resource where you found it?

The correct import is from fastembed import TextEmbedding

[giacomobartoli]

@joein you're right, sorry.. my bad. I think the code was generated and I didn't double checked.

[giacomobartoli]

I changed the code according to your comment, using TextEmbedding. The issue remains:

If you're code is in a file called fastembed.py, then you will have issues. Rename it and it should work fine.

[giacomobartoli]

the file is called qdrant.py

[karbasia]

What other packages are installed? The only way I could reproduce this was if either my test file was named fastembed.py or if there is a file named fastembed.py in the same folder as qdrant.py.
