TypeError: Client.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxies'

[gregpr07]

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

SyncHttpxClientWrapper has hard coded proxies but it no longer exists in httpx 0.28

To Reproduce

1. pip install openai
2. the bug appears when calling openai.OpenAI(**client_params, **sync_specific)

Same issue:

• Use of proxies kwarg in httpx==0.28.0 #1902

[dgellow]

Thanks for the report, as mentioned by @simonw this is similar to #1902 and will be fixed by #1903. I will close this issue as duplicate.

What is the solution now？

[3218923350]

I directly commented out the proxies in the constructor of SyncHttpxClientWrapper in openai/_base_client.py, and it works properly now.

@3218923350 , this worked for me: #1902 (comment)

[RobertCraigie]

Updating to the latest openai version will fix the issue.

[bsenftner]

Is this supposed to be fixed? I'm still seeing the 'proxies' issue when trying to update a container at AWS. I've updated to OpenAI 1.55.3, and my code does not use Httpx at all. I'm using the Async client.

client = AsyncOpenAI( api_key=get_settings().OPENAI_API_KEY, )
File "/home/app/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/openai/_client.py", line 337, in __init__
super().__init__(
File "/home/app/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/openai/_base_client.py", line 1428, in __init__
self._client = http_client or AsyncHttpxClientWrapper(
File "/home/app/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/openai/_base_client.py", line 1325, in __init__
super().__init__(**kwargs)
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxies'

[RobertCraigie]

Hey @bsenftner are you sure you're on the latest version? You can verify by running this command

python -c 'import openai; print(openai.__version__)'

[bsenftner]

Yes I am on the latest version. I log the OpenAI version via "RUN pip3 show openai" during container build, as well as

import openai
log.info(f"LOOOOOOK: openai.__version__ {openai.__version__}")

from openai import AsyncOpenAI
#
client = AsyncOpenAI(
    api_key=get_settings().OPENAI_API_KEY,
)

when my app starts up and both confirm version 1.55.3.
