with Python 3.11.9

This question is related to the following Learning Path

Answer 1

Pinning it to

opentelemetry-semantic-conventions-ai==0.4.13

worked around this issue.

See https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/issues/4160

Answer 2

This might be caused by a version mismatch between the Microsoft Agent Framework SDK and the OpenTelemetry packages installed from requirements.txt.

If that's the case, downgrade OpenTelemetry to a compatible version.

In your Labfiles/07-agent-framework/Python folder, run:

pip uninstall opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-sdk -y
pip install opentelemetry-api==1.27.0 opentelemetry-sdk==1.27.0

If that does not resolve it, install the slightly older, known-working set:

pip uninstall opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-semantic-conventions -y
pip install opentelemetry-api==1.24.0 opentelemetry-sdk==1.24.0 opentelemetry-semantic-conventions==0.45b0

Then run:

python agent-framework.py

If you still get dependency conflicts, create a clean virtual environment and reinstall everything:

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip uninstall opentelemetry-api opentelemetry-sdk opentelemetry-semantic-conventions -y
pip install opentelemetry-api==1.24.0 opentelemetry-sdk==1.24.0 opentelemetry-semantic-conventions==0.45b0

If this doesn't yield a resolution, post an issue in the corresponding GitHub repo https://github.com/MicrosoftLearning/mslearn-ai-agents/issues
