assistants api import error

[anthonyrs06]

I keep getting this error when trying to run the assistants api example. I have pip install openai done. Any tips?

ImportError: cannot import name 'MessageContentImageFile' from 'openai.types.beta.threads'

@anthonyrs06 @Mitthat, it looks like an openai library issue. As a workaround, downgrade to version 1.6.1 and the issue disappears.

[anthonyrs06]

that did the trick!

I think the recipe needs to be updated for the latest lib versions if anyone from chainlit see's this

I assume the best approach to stream assistant steps into Chainlit objects is directly via the EventHandler. This works inside app.py but I'd love to import this to clean it up. How can we pass the context though?

For streaming input, like code interpreter, there's no stream_token for input, only output. step.input += token then update() is inefficient.

One design struggle that I'm curious how anyone has solved, is submitting tool outputs for custom functions. This starts a new stream.

@hayescode I'm struggling with the same issue with custom functions...any luck on your side?
