ImportError: cannot import name 'tool' from 'crewai_tools' due to dependency conflicts and missing system dependencies

[ayeshaaask]

I am trying to set up the TravelPlanner-streamlit project, but I am facing multiple issues related to dependencies and system requirements.

1. ImportError in crewai_tools
   When running the project, I get the following error:
   ImportError: cannot import name 'tool' from 'crewai_tools' (E:\TravelPlanner-streamlit\TravelPlanner-streamlit\venv\lib\site-packages\crewai_tools\__init__.py)
   This suggests that either:
   crewai_tools does not have the required tool module, or
   The installed version of crewai_tools is outdated/incompatible.

2. Dependency Conflicts
   When installing dependencies, I see the following conflicts:
   crewai 0.100.1 requires chromadb>=0.5.23, but you have chromadb 0.4.24 which is incompatible. instructor 1.7.2 requires tenacity<10.0.0,>=9.0.0, but you have tenacity 8.5.0 which is incompatible. langchain-experimental 0.3.4 requires langchain-community<0.4.0,>=0.3.0, but you have langchain-community 0.0.38 which is incompatible.
   This means that the requirements.txt file might contain outdated or conflicting versions.

3. pysqlite3 Installation Failure
   When trying to install pysqlite3, I get this error:
   C:\Users\Ayeshashaikh\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\include\pyconfig.h(59): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'io.h': No such file or directory
   This suggests:
   The package requires compilation using Visual Studio Build Tools, but my system is missing io.h.
   Running winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.BuildTools did not resolve the issue.
   Please look into these issues and let me know if there are any workarounds or updates required for a successful setup. Thank you!

I’m still waiting for the setup details. Could you please provide them soon? It’s quite urgent as I need to get the project running. Would really appreciate your help!

hey there,

first of off, I'm just hacking into LLM stuff and sharing if this can help or give ideas.
regarding the 3 issues :

1 : I guess you have to install the crewai tools

pip install 'crewai[tools]'

2 : May be reinstall dependencies in a clean environment:

try using the requierement.txt :

crewai>=0.28.8
chromadb>=0.5.23
tenacity>=9.0.0,<10.0.0
langchain-community>=0.3.0,<0.4.0
langchain-experimental==0.3.4
instructor==1.7.2

3 : Actually i'm not using windows for this app. (Linux VM)

may be try out installing Precompiled Binary

pip install pysqlite3-binary

hope this will help.
