Unrecognized request argument: request_timeout

[njbbaer]

When I run the minimal example provided in the quickstart, I get an error:

from langchain.llms import OpenAI

llm = OpenAI(temperature=0.9)
text = "What would be a good company name a company that makes colorful socks?"
print(llm(text))

openai.error.InvalidRequestError: Unrecognized request argument supplied: request_timeout

Support for request_timeout was added to LangChain recently (#398), but the OpenAI docs don't mention that request parameter. By default LangChain passes 'request_timeout': None and removing it from the request fixes the problem.

Looking into this further, the openai Python library does actually document support for request_timeout, but it doesn't seem to work.

openai.Completion.create(engine="ada", prompt="Hello world", request_timeout=1)

openai.error.InvalidRequestError: Unrecognized request argument supplied: request_timeout

Could this be a problem upstream?

The issue was caused by an outdated version of the openai package. My apologies!
