PydanticImportError: `BaseSettings` has been moved to the `pydantic-settings` package
pydantic.errors.PydanticImportError: `BaseSettings` has been moved to the `pydantic-settings` package.
pip install pydantic-settings # or: uv add pydantic-settings
# before (pydantic v1)
from pydantic import BaseSettings
class Settings(BaseSettings):
api_key: str
class Config:
env_prefix = "APP_"
env_file = ".env"
# after (pydantic v2)
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings, SettingsConfigDict
class Settings(BaseSettings):
model_config = SettingsConfigDict(env_prefix="APP_", env_file=".env")
api_key: str
If the import is inside a dependency, upgrade that dependency to a pydantic-v2 release; pinning pydantic<2 is only a stop-gap (and V1 has Python 3.14 caveats).
Symptom
pydantic.errors.PydanticImportError: `BaseSettings` has been moved to the `pydantic-settings` package.
See https://docs.pydantic.dev/2.6/migration/#basesettings-has-moved-to-pydantic-settings for more details.
Raised by from pydantic import BaseSettings in your code or in an older dependency (chromadb, mlserver, llama-cpp-python server, emmet) once pydantic 2.x gets installed.
Cause
Pydantic V2 moved settings management into a separate distribution, pydantic-settings. Models also changed: class Config -> model_config.
Verify
python -c "from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings; import pydantic; print(pydantic.VERSION)".
