Hello, @HaoGuo98! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you may have. Let's tackle this together!

The error you're encountering is likely due to a circular import issue caused by having a file named langchain.py in your project directory. This can interfere with the actual langchain module.

To resolve this, you should rename your langchain.py file to something else, such as main.py. This will prevent the circular import and allow the langchain module to be imported correctly.

Additionally, ensure you are using the correct methods to manage the verbose setting. Instead of directly accessing langchain.verbose, use the set_verbose() and get_verbose() functions provided by the library.

Here's an example of how to set and get the verbose setting:

from langchain.globals import set_verbose, get_verbose

# Set the verbose setting
set_verbose(True)

# Get the current verbose setting
current_verbose = get_verbose()
print(f"Verbose is set to: {current_verbose}")

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the AttributeError and avoid circular import issues ^[1][2].
