{str(e)} A import related to provider {self.provider_name} w

Error message

{str(e)}
A import related to provider {self.provider_name} was not found. Is it installed ?

What it means

In Provider.respond (sources/llm_provider.py:92), a ModuleNotFoundError raised inside a provider function is re-raised with the message 'A import related to provider <name> was not found. Is it installed ?'. The library wraps it to tell the user that a Python package required by the selected provider is missing from the environment.

Solutions

1. Install the missing module named in the error text, e.g. pip install anthropic / together / huggingface_hub / litellm.
2. Confirm pip installs into the same interpreter running the app (python -m pip install ... or activate the correct venv).
3. If running in Docker, rebuild the image so the new dependency is baked in, and check DOCKER_INTERNAL_URL-era images include optional provider extras.
4. Check for a missing transitive dependency: install the provider's package with its extras (e.g. pip install 'litellm[proxy]').

Example fix

// before
$ python main.py  # ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'anthropic'
// after
$ pip install anthropic
$ python main.py

import importlib.util

PROVIDER_MODULES = {
    'huggingface': 'huggingface_hub',
    'together': 'together',
    'anthropic': 'anthropic',
    'litellm': 'litellm',
    'dsk_deepseek': 'dsk',
}

def assert_provider_installed(provider_name: str):
    mod = PROVIDER_MODULES.get(provider_name)
    if mod and importlib.util.find_spec(mod) is None:
        raise SystemExit(
            f"Provider '{provider_name}' needs package '{mod}'. "
            f"Install it with: pip install {mod}"
        )

def is_module_available(name: str) -> bool:
    import importlib.util
    try:
        return importlib.util.find_spec(name) is not None
    except (ImportError, ValueError):
        return False

try:
    res = provider.respond(history)
except ModuleNotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Missing dependency: {e.name}. Run: pip install {e.name}")
    sys.exit(1)

When it happens

Trigger: A provider function performs a lazy import that fails, e.g. 'from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient' (huggingface_fn), 'from together import Together' (together_fn), 'from anthropic import Anthropic' (anthropic_fn), 'from dsk.api import ...' (dsk_deepseek), or 'import litellm' (litellm_fn), while respond() is dispatching that provider.

Common situations: Running in a virtualenv or Docker container where optional provider packages weren't installed; installing with pip while the app runs with a different Python interpreter; a fresh clone where only core requirements were installed; deployment images trimmed of cloud SDKs.
