Hey, @Dishant0210 can you update your phidata version using pip install -U phidata? This should resolve the issue.

[mdeepak2021]

still not working even after running pip install -U phidata, what could be the issue?

[tanmayyyj]

I went through the source code, the modules are there, but still not working

[mdeepak2021]

I was able to fix it, I deleted the conda environment and created a new one and it started working. Try this way, it might help

[manthanguptaa]

@mdeepak2021 @tanmayyyj @Dishant0210 can you confirm what Phidata version you are on?

Also can you all share the code so that I can try to replicate it on my end. My guess is that your virtual environment is messed up a little. I will try my best to help you.

[mdeepak2021]

I am using the latest version of phidata

[manthanguptaa]

@mdeepak2021 can you share the code you are running that is giving this error?

[tanmayyyj]

@manthanguptaa I am too on the latest version of phidata, using the code snippet from the examples only to check, but not working

from phi.agent import Agent
from phi.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGo

agent = Agent(tools=[DuckDuckGo()], show_tool_calls=True)
agent.print_response("Whats happening in France?", markdown=True)

[tanmayyyj]

I guess then the problem might be in my venv only, let me try once again.

Facing the same issue. Waiting for the solution

Had the same issue. It only appeared after updating to v2.7.6, so I tried uninstalling phidata and then installing v2.7.5 instead. The error no longer occurs... guess I'll wait a while before updating.

[Al-Shafi-Github]

it's a shame that I accidentally put three underscores ( ___ ) instead of two ( __ ) in
if __name__ == "__main__":

Anyway, I tried both 'v2.7.6' and 'v2.7.5'. Both of them are working fine.

I also faced this issue
ERROR: Error loading ASGI app. Import string "playground.app" must be in format "<module>:<attribute>".

I updated the code a bit:
serve_playground_app("playground:app", port=7777, reload=True)

Now it works fine. [Issue solved]

I would recommend everyone to double-check that you are using the appropriate venv. I think it was the main issue

Thanks @Al-Shafi-Github for sharing the solution here! I am closing this issue now as this is the correct answer
