Python AttributeError: 'TextAnalyticsClient' object has no attribute 'begin_extract_summary'

Question

I am attempting to use this script in the Python samples for TextAnalytics.

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/blob/main/sdk/textanalytics/azure-ai-textanalytics/samples/async_samples/sample_extract_summary_async.py

azure-ai-textanalytics is installed and the resource is in the East US region. I haven't changed the script except to get the environment variables from an .env file.

When I run it, I get the following error.

AttributeError: 'TextAnalyticsClient' object has no attribute 'begin_extract_summary'

I can run many of the other samples but this one nor the synchronous version runs.

Answer 1

Extractive summary is available in the 5.3.0b2 version. Use:

pip install azure-ai-textanalytics==5.3.0b2

The sample is missing an event loop policy for the asynchronous version so be sure to add the following line above the asyncio.run(main()) line.

    asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
