Summary

Improved the import error message when 'openai' is missing in 'autogen-ext'.

Changes

  • Wrapped 'openai' imports in 'python/packages/autogen-ext/src/autogen_ext/models/openai/_openai_client.py' with a try-except block.
  • Raises a descriptive ImportError: 'Please install openai using pip install autogen-ext[openai]'.

Why

Fixes #4605. Users were facing confusing ModuleNotFoundErrors when the optional openai dependency was missing. This makes the resolution clear.
