Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/danielkliewer/bumcpo02/test_bu.py", line 2, in <module>
from browser_use import BrowserSession
ImportError: cannot import name 'BrowserSession' from 'browser_use' (/Users/danielkliewer/bumcpo02/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/browser_use/__init__.py)
The error suggests that `BrowserSession` does not exist in `browser_use`, or the module is not correctly installed. Here are some debugging steps to resolve it:
### 1. **Check if `browser_use` is Installed**
Run the following in your virtual environment:
```sh
pip show browser_use
```
If it's not installed, install it:
```sh
pip install browser_use
```
### 2. **Check Available Attributes in `browser_use`**
Run Python inside your virtual environment:
```sh
python3
```
Then, try:
```python
import browser_use
print(dir(browser_use))
```
If `BrowserSession` is missing, it might not be part of the library.
### 3. **Check `browser_use/__init__.py`**
Inspect the file:
```sh
cat /Users/danielkliewer/bumcpo02/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/browser_use/__init__.py
```
See if `BrowserSession` is actually imported or defined there.
### 4. **Try Explicit Import**
Try importing directly from the module:
```python
from browser_use.browser_session import BrowserSession
```
If that works, update your script accordingly.
### 5. **Check Python Version Compatibility**
Since you're using Python 3.13, some packages might not yet be compatible. Try running:
```sh
python3.12 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install browser_use
```
Then, test again in Python 3.12.
If none of these work, let me know what you find, and we can troubleshoot further! 🚀
