What prerequisites are needed to utilize the Agenta Python module?

[vjeantet]

Currently, when I install the Agenta package using pip install agenta and attempt to import it in my Python application, the program crashes.

The error message displayed is: unsupported operand type(s) for |.
The IDE indicates that there's an issue in the Agenta module, pointing out: Python 3.9 does not allow writing union types as X | Y.

Thanks for your help

The Agenta Python module requires Python 3.11 or newer. The error you're seeing (unsupported operand type(s) for |) happens because Agenta uses union types with the | operator, which is only supported in Python 3.10+—and the package specifically requires at least Python 3.11 as defined in its configuration files. To resolve this, upgrade your Python interpreter to 3.11 or later and reinstall the package. Other common prerequisites include Docker and git, but using the correct Python version is essential for the package to work properly.
You can see the Python version requirement in the project's configuration: pyproject.toml.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Hey @vjeantet,

We have introduced a regression in v0.51.4 that makes the library incompatible with python < 3.10. We are working on a fix. In the mean time you can pin the agenta sdk to v0.51.3 and it should work fine
