AttributeError When Using 'vector_stores' Method in OpenAI Python Client

[yash980]

Confirm this is an issue with the Python library and not an underlying OpenAI API

• This is an issue with the Python library

Describe the bug

After upgrading to the latest version of the OpenAI Python client (openai==1.21.2), I am encountering an AttributeError when attempting to use the new 'vector_stores' method as described in the documentation. The error suggests that the 'OpenAI' object does not have an attribute 'vector_stores'.

To Reproduce

Install the latest version of the OpenAI Python client (openai==1.21.2).
Execute the following Python code:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

vector_store = client.vector_stores.create(
  name="Support FAQ"
)
print(vector_store)

Code snippets

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

vector_store = client.vector_stores.create(
  name="Support FAQ"
)
print(vector_store)

OS

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Python version

Python 3.8.10

Library version

openai 1.21.2

It looks like there's a small oversight in the official documentation. I just realized that to get the 'vector_stores' method to work, you need to access it through the 'beta' namespace on the client. So, instead of using client.vector_stores, you should use client.beta.vector_stores. This tweak seems to make everything work as expected!

There is nothing under beta as well. Tried

if 'beta' in dir(client):
    print("Beta attributes and methods:")
    print(dir(client.beta))

pip3 install openai .... But maybe not "latest" enough

[rattrayalex]

Yes, you need to be on the latest version of the library (pip install --upgrade openai) and access with client.beta.vector_stores.

cc @nknj that the docs need to be updated.

I'm told the docs have been fixed!

This still seems to be an issue.

AttributeError: 'Beta' object has no attribute 'vector_stores'

I printed the directory using:

if 'beta' in dir(client):
    print("Beta attributes and methods:")
    print(dir(client.beta))

These are the classes:
Beta attributes and methods:
['__annotations__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getstate__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', '_client', '_delete', '_get', '_get_api_list', '_patch', '_post', '_put', '_sleep', 'assistants', 'threads', 'with_raw_response']

I am on openai version 1.30.5.

@rattrayalex, Is there something I'm missing from the docs?
