Thanks for your issue report. I'm switching over to a more unified method for the pip package hopefully this will solve your issues . I'll ping you when this is done :)

I have the same issue. What's the fix for it?

Has anyone found a workaround?

[YashIngole]

found any fix yet?

[dogweather]

I forked the repo, fixed this, and then found a ton of other issues. There's no test suite, so it's hard to know what works and what doesn't. I stopped after investing an hour of work.

Replace your code with this code.

import logging
from bing_chat import BingGPT
import asyncio

async def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    c = BingGPT.Chatbot()
    response = await c.ask("Hello, how are you?")
    messages = response['item']['messages']
    print("Chat history:", messages)
asyncio.run(main())

Replace your code with this code.

import logging
from bing_chat import BingGPT
import asyncio

async def main():
    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
    c = BingGPT.Chatbot()
    response = await c.ask("Hello, how are you?")
    messages = response['item']['messages']
    print("Chat history:", messages)
asyncio.run(main())

I got this error
