🔥 Cannot start mongodb_api: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agents'

[Marxist-Leninist]

Let’s wrap it up with a clean, ready‑to‑paste GitHub Issue / internal bug ticket.
Below is a draft that captures everything we discovered, including the exact commands, error logs, and the most likely root cause (missing agents package). https://chatgpt.com/s/t_688773da7b988191878deecb31a95fa4

🔥 Cannot start mongodb_api: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agents'
Environment
Item Value
Host Codespace / Docker (Ubuntu 22.04)
Python 3.10.18 (CPython) inside conda env asi‑arch
Key deps we re‑installed fastapi 0.110.3, uvicorn 0.35.0, pydantic 2.11.7
Repo commit INSERT_SHA_HERE
Command that fails uvicorn mongodb_api:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Steps to Reproduce
bash
Copy
Edit

clone repo

git clone <repo_url> && cd ASI-Arch

create env & install

conda env create -f environment.yml # or: conda create -n asi-arch python=3.10
conda activate asi-arch

(we switched from GraalPy → CPython to avoid pydantic_core issues)

conda install -y -c conda-forge "python=3.10.* _cpython" --update-deps --force-reinstall
pip install --no-cache-dir -U "pydantic-core==2." "pydantic==2." "fastapi==0.110." uvicorn

adjust PYTHONPATH so database layer can see top-level packages

export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PWD/pipeline:$PYTHONPATH

start API

cd database
uvicorn mongodb_api:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agents'
↳ /database/util.py:10 from agents import Runner
What we tried
Attempt Result
find . -name agents* No internal agents/ package in repo
pip install agents (DeepMind RL) Import succeeded but doesn’t expose Runner → subsequent TensorFlow 1.x era errors (tf.contrib, etc.)
Added stub agents/init.py with class Runner: pass Lets FastAPI boot, confirming the only blocker is the missing package.
git submodule update --init --recursive No sub‑modules present.

Analysis
util.py expects an internal library agents.Runner that is not part of the repo or any modern PyPI release.

The DeepMind package agents (RL) is unrelated and incompatible.

Likely scenarios:

agents lives in a private repo meant to be installed side‑by‑side (sub‑module or separate clone).

The code was renamed (e.g., agents → pipeline.agents) but imports weren’t updated.

The dependency used to be vendored and was accidentally removed from the repo history.

Requested Action
Provide / restore the agents package that contains at least the Runner class.

Document setup steps (README / environment.yml) so new devs can bootstrap without guesswork.

Optional: publish agents to an internal PyPI or convert to a proper sub‑module.

Feel free to tweak the wording, add the exact commit hash, or attach full logs. Once the maintainers supply the missing package (or update the import), the rest of the stack should work.

Let me know if you’d like any changes before you file it!

Try

pip install openai-agents

Remove the dytt.../ references from the database YML file to use the actual mongodb docker issued by docker. The dytt version was suspicious, so we used the publicly verified version. Should read mongodbXxx where x is the version. There's two instances of dytt domain showing in the YML

Then I simply ran python mongodb_api.py to get it up and running. See my repo with the fixes and implementation of the missing creator and optimizer files (you haven't come across that error yet. 🙏 99% of the code was provided by the author, I had to implement the missing 1% myself. 🙏

Are we sure agents is from openai-agents? The package directory /usr/local/lib/python3.11/dist-packages doesn't include an agents module or file (e.g., agents.py or agents/ directory).

Please suggest how to fix Cannot start mongodb_api: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agents' and the associated function_tool. Thanks!
