venv) danielkliewer@Daniels-MacBook-Pro bumcpo02 % python3 test_bu.py INFO [browser_use] BrowserUse logging setup complete with level info INFO [root] Anonymized telemetry enabled. See https://docs.browser-use.com/development/telemetry for more information. 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! 🚀
