No module named 'pydantic_core._pydantic_core'

[Mr James W Fishwick]

Describe the bug
When I use Python3 (Python 3.12.3) as installed by homebrew on my Mac, the python -m r2r.examples.servers.basic_pipeline --config local_ollama command errors out with:

File "/Users/user/rag2riches/pydantic/main.py", line 12, in <module>
    import pydantic_core
  File "/Users/user/rag2riches/pydantic_core/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from ._pydantic_core import (
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pydantic_core._pydantic_core'

but I have pydantic_core on my machine:

pip show pydantic_core
Name: pydantic_core
Version: 2.16.3
Summary: 
Home-page: https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-core
Author: 
Author-email: Samuel Colvin <[e-mail]>
License: MIT
Location: /Users/user/.local/lib/python/site-packages
Requires: typing-extensions
Required-by: pydantic

Expected behavior
The server runs.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: OSX 12.7.4

Additional context
This was working running from the native OSX python instance, but LibreSSL was causing errors when I was trying to run https://github.com/SciPhi-AI/SciPhi-Demo, so I switched to a proper install of python. This error occurs whether or not I use a virtual environment.

This is strange, is this an error due to the version of pydantic?

I will try to replicate so that we can diagnose and fix - any additional information or attempts at solving would be helpful for us to pin down why this is occurring.

fwiw

• pydantic_core: 2.16.3
• pydantic: 2.6.3
• fastapi: 0.109.2

Here's the whole error:

Most of the Google results for this issue bring up folks who are having trouble getting suitable packages built for a specific architecture https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76650856/no-module-named-pydantic-core-pydantic-core-in-aws-lambda-though-library-is-i

for me I see:
