Error: Cannot import name 'Pinecone' from 'pinecone'

Problem

When using an older version of the Python SDK (earlier than 3.0.0), trying to import the Pinecone class raises the following error:

console

ImportError: cannot import name 'Pinecone' from 'pinecone'

Upgrade the SDK version and try again:

Shell

# If you're interacting with Pinecone via HTTP requests, use:
pip install pinecone --upgrade

Shell

# If you're interacting with Pinecone via gRPC, use:
pip install "pinecone[grpc]" --upgrade
